Walked+back+to+our+hostel?

We decided that we'd walk back. We were naive Minnesotans, thinking nothing would happen to us. Well about 6 blocks into our walk we notice that there were about five people following us and kinda circling across the street and behind us. They got kind of close to us so of course I turned around and tried to ask what was going on. Well they were gang members. They wanted to rob us. I tried to explain that we didn't have anything with us and that we didn't want any trouble. Two of them pulled out knives and started yelling. Jason and I looked at each other, and kinda gave each other that look to take off running. We were both collegiate athletes so we were in good shape and decently fast so we turned and took off. They chased and chased but we made it back to our hostel and the front desk guy called the police and everything was ok. At this point we contemplated going home and not having any more trouble. What did we do?

A) Went home B) Kept on going
