Intervene in a domestic.

Brother working in Fire Brigade, called out to a disturbance in Tallaght a few years ago, lady had been stabbed by husband / partner, not badly, needed treatment, cops hadn't arrived before them. Partner goes for him when they get in house, he knocks him out (still had a knife !).
'Lady' who had been stabbed jumps on him, says 'leave him the f--- alone !', ends up having to knock her out too and cart them both off after police arrived.

They sued him !!

Hard to intervene sometimes i guess, but any dude who hits a woman deserves what he gets.

Was having a few drinks in the local one Paddys night and there was a couple dancing in the middle of the pub, and this pub you just dont do dancing, she was the size of a small house and he the size of a jockey. They were slow setting and he had his head nestled between her boobs, boobs you would need a round bale lifter to fondle. They were eating each other in the pub. Afterwards outside the chipper the pair of them were having it out and she knocked him out cold with a box, he ended up in A&E ,but they have since married and have four kids so no I never get involved

I have intervened in a good few over the years with mixed reactions. If you where to ask me now I would say I would do my best to avoid it because of the hassle. However, generally when I see something like that if a woman is being assualted I would find in impossible not to intervene, even with the knowledge that it may turn to sh!t.
