Keeping calm - you'll already be two steps of the guy that's relying on himself or a physical item to give himself confidence. He/she already has a
motive: Make you do what they ask; which means they might not be focused on the person recording the confrontation from somewhere in the
background.
Also, work on making yourself unpredictable - Most attackers assume you will do one of three things:
1. Fight back
2. Comply
3. Run
Try to not give an indicator which you are going to do - Don't say anything, don't make any attempt to move, focus on your breathing (as you might
need to get a bit more air to run). I'd personally give them the creepiest smile I can pull off (and tilt my head, while maintaining eye contact
assuming they are in front). When they make their move, that's when you make yours.
