I have heard tha tthe best thing to do in those situations, if one has the presence of mind, is to make eye contact with one person and tell them to help you. Don't ask or beg. You make it an order.
Supposedly, the person singled out loses the anonymity of the crowd and also the idea that"someone else will do it". It puts them on the spot all of a sudden they look like an ass if they don't do something. Once that person acts, other usually follow. It doesn't always work, but it is worth a try.
