Today, I was rather violently accosted by a rather intriguing gentleman

[Fragony]

Its a sign of the times that people have trouble figuring out how to respond to violence, or the threat of violence, or just an antagonizing person. Short Answer: Punch 'em in the throat. Long Answer: Punch 'em in the throat, if you can get away with it. Or you can take the high-road, because fighting usually isn't worth it, but taking the high road usually means you'll have to keep taking the high road.

Chin is better, INSTANT KNOCKOUT

Strike two.

Break their nose. Painful, eyes will tear up and vision will go to hell, not as easy to breathe, etc. Break nose and run.
