Okay.... At about 9am there was a disturbance outside our house....

The people across the road were in the middle of the road with someone else and a dog running loose. They were shouting leave us alone, lots of swearing and fighting between the two men, a brick at some point and the woman looked distressed trying to stop it.

I phoned the police who turned up 3-4 mins later just after one of the men walked away....

DH thinks I was stupid to do this, that I shouldnt have gotten involved and that by doing that I have put us all at risk of danger.

I'd call the police (and have done so) but I didn't give my name because I was worried about them coming to my door and the neighbours knowing I had called.

I don't think you were being unreasonable. I have had almost exactly the same scenario with my neighbours. I called the police and within minutes 4 cars turned up. My main concern was that they have 2 small children and were shouting and screaming in the street and one of the children was wondering in the road and it was 1am.

I was a bit worried there would be some come back but not had anything. To he honest, this family have has police visits fairly frequently. I think it was the right thing to do.
