What do you do when you see a dispute?

This is something that I've wanted to post about for a while. I'm curious to know what people do when they see domestic disputes in public. For example, when I see a man and woman having a fight, I tend to stop walking by and watch, especially if I think that it's going to erupt into violence. I want to let the people know that I'm watching. But I'm curious to know what others do. If you see a man hit a woman in public, should you call 9-11? Should you yell something to let them know that you saw and that it's wrong? I usually just stop and stare, but is there something else that I could do or that should be done.
*I realize that sometimes the woman hits the man, or that it's two men or two women having an argument. In this case, I'm more interested in how people combat violence against women, even though I am interested in how people work against violence in general.
