Parents fighting: Sass was right when she said that it's important to know when to get involved in a conflict. I'll usually let them work things out on their own, but if the argument escalates past a certain point I'll intervene and make them stop and go into separate rooms to cool down.
Someone being attacked: I would normally help, but it really depends on whether or not the assailant has a weapon. If they don't, I will yell at the top of my friggin' lungs at them to draw attention. Hopefully by that point people will come see what's going on because I will most likely have started throwing shit at the attacker by then (from a safe distance, of course). If they have a weapon that is not a firearm, I'll call the cops and get someone nearby to help out (hopefully the attacker will feel threatened when outnumbered and run). If they have a gun, I'll just call the cops and hide.
I'm the type of person that will help out if I can, though I wouldn't call myself a hero. I won't get too involved when it comes to really dangerous situations, though. For example, if I see someone facedown on the side of the highway next to a vehicle, I will only call the cops and won't stop. I don't allow my common sense to become clouded by my urges to help people.
