AFAIK, that's not the purpose of good samaritan laws. They were enacted in a few states to make people act when they're witnessing a crime, instead of doing nothing. Calling the cops to report the crime is enough to satisfy your duty though, you don't actually have to jump in and try to help somebody. The vast majority of states still follow the "American Bystander Rule" though meaning that you don't have to do a damn thing if a crime is going on. Pull up a chair and watch if you want to...NY is an american bystander state btw
