The following excerpt is from People v. Thomas, 11 Cal. Daily Op. Serv. 1656, 121 Cal.Rptr.3d 521, 2011 Daily Journal D.A.R. 1966, 247 P.3d 886, 51 Cal.4th 449 (Cal. 2011):

time [the deputy sheriff] spoke with [the victim] in the hospital, the incident that caused [the victim]'s injury had been over for more than an hour. The alleged assailant and the alleged victim were geographically separated, [the victim] had left the scene of the injury, and ... was in no danger of further violence as to which contemporaneous police intervention might be required.
