The thing is, the situation you are describing, there is very LITTLE time to make a choice. And who is to say what's right and wrong? I am not sure there is a right and wrong in this kind of situation.
As FC mentioned, maybe it would be WRONG of me to leave my husband and family behind knowing that I died a violent death saving people I don't know. Maybe the guy being beat to death is someone that would be important to the world someday, while the girl is really a very bad person that will hurt the world more than she helps. What if you saved the girl, to only find that out later? Would your choice between the two be any less right then?
My reaction would just be that, a reaction, I wouldn't be able to think it through and come to a sound moral decision, I would just act....by calling the police and then jumping in.
