In the Netherlands there is a program for exactly that, "slachtofferhulp" ("victim help"). I'm not entirely sure what it entails, but I've been offered it even after merely witnessing the shop on the corner of my street being robbed from a distance (the thief ran past me just as I stepped outside my house, so I made a statement to the police).
Well okay he did threaten me, raising the knife while saying "don't even think about it" [standing in his way/stopping him]. But he didn't come at me, and I was certain I could have outrun him if he did (by running towards the shop, which he was focused on getting away from, after all), I remained at distance. Of course, this being the Netherlands, there was about zero risk the guy would pull a gun (especially after brandishing a rather cheap looking chef's knife).
