Husband has called the police on our neighbours, have we done the right thing?

[Ninjamomma]

DH and I were outside collecting birthday presents from the car and heard our female neighbour from across the street screaming. I couldn't make out everything she was saying but she was historical and we definitely heard "leave me alone" and "I've done nothing wrong" and things being thrown about

I didn't know what to do but DH went straight over and knocked the door - female neighbour came to the door, cracked it open slightly, DH asked If she was OK, she she she was fine and shut the door.

We both didn't feel satisfied so DH has called the police. They are on their way and I'm sat here wondering if we have done the right thing

I'm worried we may have caused tension now with them however I couldn't live with myself If something untoward is going on and I had just turned a blind eye

Have we overstepped our mark?

I am a domestic abuse survivor and you defiantly did the right thing, my neighbour asked if I was a victim as my former husband pushed her down the drive. A couple of weeks later he brutally attacked for the final time. She also was and we talk over the fence and her toddler has (and has probably destroyed) his model aeroplane collection.

Done the right thing. Well done man!
