The article didn't say. I would hope not, but it may well be that they did. I can tell you that if someone was attacking my husband, I would be right there in the melee. I'd probably get smacked down, but I can't imagine standing by and watching.

According to this article, the wife and "other female relatives" (probably his daughters) tried to help. On a radio show this morning, I heard a woman that said she attended ValleyFair and witnessed three other fights, and when she tried to call to complain they told her that there were 15 fights reported that night. She said that she left with her kids scared and crying.
