In short, what has happened to chivalry? I have never, knowingly, let a woman get into that situation. Even if I have had to drag my wife/girlfriend with me, I would walk her home or to a taxi, bus or train.
I would question those who were with her that evening and ask what they might have done to prevent it. The woman in question should not have been walking alone at that time of night.
