After calling the police to assist with a hostile individual, you should:

  1. Continue to monitor the individual and situation

  2. Leave the scene

  3. Start interviewing bystanders

  4. Take a break

The correct answer is: Continue to monitor the individual and situation

After calling the police to assist with a hostile individual, it is important to continue to monitor the individual and situation until law enforcement arrives. This is because the safety of everyone involved is the top priority, and the situation can quickly escalate if not properly observed. Leaving the scene could potentially put yourself and others at risk, as well as interfere with the police's investigation and response. Starting to interview bystanders may also not be the best option as it could distract from the situation at hand and potentially escalate the hostility. Taking a break is not recommended as it would not be safe to leave the situation unmonitored. It is important to follow the guidance and instructions of the police when they arrive.
