Should I report this to the police or mind my own business?

Early hours of the morning today lots of shouting and screaming coming from next door, there are also a series of loud bangs. The female runs out of the house the male chases after her swearing. The male returns 15 minutes later alone.
Roughly half an hour later the female returns with a group of friends and they confront the male, they were accusing him of hitting her and threatening her with a knife. It got physical, it was loud and went on for roughly 45 minutes. Myself, their other next door neighbour and the house opposite all have ring doorbells.

I think I should report it and I want to but last time I reported him assaulting her he came to my door being verbally abusive and pushed me over, I am home alone with small children. Reporting anonymously doesn’t help as he has done similar when someone else reported an incident between them that I wasn’t even home for. So pretty much I know the moral thing to do is report but I am selfishly worried about mine and my children’s safety, what would you do?

Next time, report as it is happening. Also put up a camera so if he comes to your home angry you get it on camera and call the police the second he shows up at your door. If he is going to blame you even when it wasn't you then you need to ramp it up. He needs to go to jail.
