Here are some ways people can protect themselves from physical attacks: 
1. Avoid dangerous neighborhoods and situations. Know your limitations when it comes to entering potentially threatening areas or scenarios. 
2. Develop an escape plan if a physical attack occurs. Identify potential hiding places, weapons, or anyone who may be able to help you in advance so that during the heat of an attack, you know what to do and where to go. 
3. Learn how to defense yourself both physically and mentally from physical attacks including the basics of martial arts, disarming techniques, proper breathing exercises for stress reduction and awareness methods which may help you recognize potential threats ahead of time as well as respond more effectively should a danger arise . 
4 Follow-up instructions after prevention/self protection plans have failed— get medical attention quickly if necessary , contact law enforcement authorities inform them asap with any details about potential perpetrators/suspects - gather evidence even if it seems minor (e .g pictures ) as additional security measure while taking appropriate legal steps against offenders   and engaging psychological support & healing processes afterwards !
