I had an incident wherein my reaction really surprised me. A stranger (drunk or high) threatened and screamed racial slurs in my face. I stood in silence only a foot or two between us. I was the object of her rage at that moment. I didn't take it personally. I was concerned for her welfare. I simply saw her anger and rage, and possibly hurt and wounds under it.
You've handled it quite well.
Although 'disabling her' can also be considered as an option when her action has became a dire threat to your safety and others around her. Yet such call should be dependent on context.
Another good reference on how to act (positively) upon being judged is the infamous trial of Jesus by Sanhedrin, which of course was a 'fake' trial.
And the opposite on how to act negatively upon being judged is the opposite of action that was taken by Jesus.
Be mindful that he did once ask his friends to prepare and defend themselves.
