Most people, including martial artists, have no clue what to do when its for real, people freeze up all the time! It all boils down to whats worth fighting for AND how you have been training! If you have it clear in your mind exactly what you are and are not willing to commit to when its for real, then the decisions become easy! After you make that commitment then your mind is much more clear to act rather than freeze up! Bottom line is these people were shocked and froze up out of fear and not wanting to get involved so they let another man get beat down. Most likely they would have let the man be killed too, then said to others "well you would have done the same thing in that situation" Wonder if they would have done the same thing if it was a family member or close friend being beatin?
