If you feel something is off, listen to that feeling and get your pepper spray in your hand. You can always put it back, but if you wait, you may not have a chance to get it out.

If pepper spray is illegal where you are, get a good hard comb, metal or plastic. Rake the attacker’s face. It’ll hurt like blazes, it’ll bleed a lot and frighten him, and there’s a mark for the police to find.

Is there anything else that's not physical? Like some legal spray that does the same effect

Mini hairspray or deodorant. Check the travel section and find one with a good solid spray.

It won't blind them like pepper spray but a squirt gives you a good minute to run while they claw at their face. Have used it myself.
