Which basically means we only intervene in crimes that are felonies in progress that may cause death or serious bodily harm.
In this case from what i can see in the video as a security guard all I would is contact the authority and verbally command the girls to stop. Since I dont have the proprer training or authority to physically touch them.
An assault of this nature is assault in the second degree under Washington law, a class A felony, so you would have been authorized to physically intervene.
Edited to reflect this assault is probably in the second degree rather than the first. Still a felony.
