I've been in a similar situation. Someone threatening me with a knife, and trying to grab my brief case. I attacked him with my brolly, breaking the beautiful malacca handle on his head.
Self preservation kicks in when you feel threatened and under attack.
Perhaps you do have doubts about your reactions after the event, but the last thing you need is someone you don't know labelling you a fool for daring to exhibit the basic animal instinct of self sefence.
