Its funny, I got attacked a year or so back and I was on a busy street where plenty of people could've stopped and helped me. I feel much safer in isolated places, as the chances of someone sitting and waiting in the cold is much less likely to occur than a random street attack, particularly in areas at night with pubs near by.
I think the attacks or more likely to occur by younger people just walking by on a street aswell, particularly with alcohol abuse that goes on and gang cultures growing rather than walking your dog somewhere relatively quiet. Obviously everyone should be cautious whenever they are out alone at night in any place, but like I said, I think the main risk is near areas where larger groups of people congregate like near pubs and youth congregation areas, for an example, rhyddings street memorial which regularly has a group of teens sat around who look intimidating.
