But if you’re attacked, these suggestions can save your life. 1. Try to talk your way out of the situation. Stay calm, and use your persuasiveness to talk your way out of danger. 2. Stun and run. Using a sharp or blunt object, such as your car keys, pen, or phone, hit the assailant’s head, eyes, or groin as hard as you can. Then run. Chemical sprays are also effective, but only if you already have one available when you need it. 3. Don't antagonize or threaten the attacker. If you do, their violent behavior may worsen. 4. Use apparent compliance. Appear to acquiesce to the attacker. When the attacker's guard is down, try to escape. But never, ever get into the assailant’s car.
