Lending a helping hand was for old ladies crossing the road not for situations with some poor bugger is getting the living snot kicked out of him.
I suppose you could offer to hold the perp's coat to save him getting sweaty through the effort of all the kicking Stew - That'd be lending a helping hand mate.
On the other hand piling in to an iffy situation may just inflame it, add to the carnage etc.
It has never been suggested by any authority that witnesses of crime should have a go! The adverse outcomes of such action are obvious really.
The course of action for witnesses should be calling the Police and Ambulance.
