Fight him.

Your spunkiness catches the hood by surprise, and your first blow sends his dagger spinning across the street. Swiftly, you dart under his flailing arm and land a blow just beneath his ribcage. A follow-through punch to his jaw almost topples him, and you're just lining up your trademark kick to the groin when his accomplice hits you with half a brick and knocks you senseless.

Regain consciousness a few minutes later.
