Actually, the guy was walking away from the woman. It was his crazy girlfriend who came charging out with fists swinging. He made a half-hearted attempt to stop her, or at least pull her away, but my guess is that he knew better from past experience than to interfere with her, lest he become the victim of her crazed anger.
Did you look at the second photo? Looks like he’s punching the other woman in the face.
For what it's worth, the cops think they already know who the two mutants are. There are warrants out for their arrests, and they just need help finding out where they are.
ummm, actually the gentle giant aspiring musician turning his life around hit the TEEN GIRL IN THE FACE- something only an animal would do. In my world, the way I was raised amongst the civilized, hitting a young girl is a great dishonor.
