Didn't feel brave or a hero but thanks for saying so

was just instinct in conjunction with a lack of care for my own well being.
If anything I felt very sad afterwards, I care a lot for the member of staff that was attacked and she was badly shook up. The man in question seems to get mad at the weirdest things and almost always at women (he punched an 18 year old boy the other night).
Was just so fast and out of nowhere this morning... I sensed something was going to happen before she did and surged forward to get him to back off (he's smaller in height to me, at least 20 years older and unfit in an obese way... So much heavier than me) but I couldn't stop the coffee being thrown
This afternoon I've been feeling really down, memories of being bullied by others significantly larger than me and being powerless.
