I think Ducay is being misunderstood a little. What he is trying to say is what the OP did was the correct thing to do. Breaking up the incident was the correct action. The guy took off running.
Following and giving chase and potentially becoming a victim yourself after the immediate threat is over could be potentially life threatening.
When Ducay used the word "hero" I dont think he was trying to make it sound like the OP wasnt a hero. He was using it in "I will bring this bad guy down and serve some justice" way.
Good on you OP. I think you handled it the correct way. As a Husband and father of 2, I would probally do the same thing, and if it were my Wife/Daughter/sister/mother in that situation, I would be so grateful to just have the same thing done. The girl is out of harms way and the authorities are on there way. Perfect.
