I was at the library today catching up with JBP's 12 Rules for Life for self-improvement reasons. A girl was sat, chatting with her guy friend next in an area designated for quiet readers. Although it bugged me, I let it be because it wasn't that distracting .
A few minutes later she gets a phone call from a friend who apparently has "hearing issues". As her voice continued to get louder, I told myself that I'm giving her 10 seconds to tone it down else I'm going to intervene, seeing as people were moving away as opposed to confronting her.
She was a textbook low awareness 85 IQ savage; the British equivalent to the fat, aggressive American woman at Walmart.
Anyway, once the 10 seconds were up, I asked her to go elsewhere because she's disturbing people. Next thing you know she's screaming at the top of her voice "I'M GONNA SMASH THAT BOOK ON YOUR HEAD YOU CUNT", making a bigger scene.
While she was screaming threats, I stopped acknowledging her and continued reading. She picked up her bag and left while continuing to babble with her nonsense.
Obviously I did the right thing. I was the only person with the balls to confront her, and I maintained frame in spite of the surge of adrenaline that was preparing me for the worst. A few minutes later, her friend apologised and left.
My question is, what would TRP recommend in a similar situation, had things become violent?
I'm not a fan of fighting women due to the biological advantage I'd have, which may lead to me getting charged for assault under the shitty British judicial system.
I was actually thinking about a technique Derren Brown used to disarm an aggressor; saying a completely random sentence without any context, such as "my wall is not 6' high", but let's be more realistic about this.
How would you guys handle being attacked by a hambeast?

I don't think you fucked up by confronting her but based off her lack of awareness/respect what were you expecting from an entitled bitch like that? I see no winning in this scenario. If she does become violent you're either that guy who fought a female and dropped her or she does this to you.
