Best Answer

If you witnessed an assault then you need to report it to the police or otherwise you can be charged as an accomplice.

Unless you activiely participated in the crime then you did nothing wrong.

However you are a primary witness, and should cooperate with authorities to ensure the perpitrators are punished. Some may suspect you were involved based on your proximity to the crime; but by cooperating you can demonstrate that you were not involved.
