No you don't.
One of my friends who is a martial arts instructor was harrased in the street once, by four men. They started to push him about and he knew that they were out to kick his ass just for the sake of it.

His mind decided not to run and he said to the strongest boldest looking of the bunch: "Hey man, how many red M&Ms are there in a bag?". This question completely took away the guys attention for a split second and in that very second he started pounding away on him as hard as he could. He didn't stop beating him even when the guy was down on the ground.

His buddies were so shocked that the strongest of the pack was getting his ass whooped that they did not have the nerves to do anything anymore. They backed off apologizing. After this, my friend ran home on the last bit of adrenaline he had left.

Fortunately for him, even though he was seemingly overpowered, he managed to turn the situation to his favour. Having studied martial arts and knowing some of the street combat principles, he did the right thing by going after the strongest first. His mind decided to stay and defend. It could have decided to run as fast as he could but it didn't. A decision like this will be made in a nanosecond. After this, you better be prepared.
