I'm not sure any place is safe in the Caribbean at 3:10 a.m. in the morning. What were they doing out at that time? I'm not sure when I was in college during spring break I was out and about at 3:10 a.m. in Ft. Lauderdale (though I probably was). This is exactly what I mean by being smart when on St. Martin. Staying out of potential situations where crime becomes an opportunity requires "island smarts" that need to used to prevent such occurrences. Hope this guys is going to be okay for his bravery.
