I decided to Google it and didn't actually get an answer to that specific question.
.
Apparently what happened was a brawl broke out and for some reason the woman, upon seeing the robot, decided to push an emergency alert button on the robot. I say "for some reason" because apparently the police had not actually advertised the robots as having a functional emergency alert service as of yet. They're still in a trial mode. Either way the woman seemed to think they would work. Which I guess is understandable.
.
The robot asked her to step out of the way (it didn't tell her to "go away," from what I can tell it's programmed to ask people blocking it's path to move. Not sure if that has anything to do with an incident in which one of these robots apparently ran into a child somewhere.
.
It then proceeded to continue on it's path, asking people to keep the park clean, and singing an "intergalactic tune." (Cont)
The woman attempted to press the button again (possibly several more times), and even attempted to get at an angle where the robot could "see her face" since she thought that might be the problem.
.
After this continued to fail she finally called the police the old fashioned way. Iirc it said a few people were injured in the brawl, and there was a head injury
