Knight in Shining Armour

Recently I witnessed an elderly lady having her bag snatched . Before I could even rationally think about the situation, and whether I could be putting myself in danger, I had given my handbag to the lady to hold while I chased after the thief. I managed a couple of grabs at him but he got away. As I watched him run off he dropped the ladies bag. I went and collected it but he had still taken her purse.
Anyway, the point of all this is has anyone ever acted on impulse like this (without thinking) and thought rationally about it later seeing how dangerous it could have been? or have the days of people helping each other in times of need/danger gone out the door forever?
