Yes, they were all shocked, but one fellow did think of helping the victim . Understandably, he was hesitant to do so when the attacker had a large knife.

Let's talk about the trend of people not helping people who are being attacked. There's that famous NYC (I think) case where a woman was screaming for help while she died and no one even called the police.

I dare say this has to do with the urbanization and the state becoming more active in society as a parental force, like welfare and public housing for example. They take away people's responsibility and individual initiative, replacing it with a "the government will take care of you".
