How do I use self-defense in a lonely street at night?
Be as loud as you can be. Scream at the top of your lungs and if you can, call out to somebody for help if you can sense an oncoming attack. Most perpetrators do not want to draw attention and as a result will likely back off if there attempts are noticed by others.
If that does not work, have a key or other sharp object out and if you are attacked, aim directly for the eye. Run to the nearest open business and ask to dial 911. A police station is the best place to go. Be sure to report the person since it is likely that if they were going to attack you, they will likely go after another.
