I feel very certain that at the very least, Jake would be howling, "wohw-wohw-wohw"ing, but he wouldn't get close. If the stranger reached for him, he'd duck away and keep barking and howling. He's never been tested, but he's 12 years old so I figure I know his habits well enough to predict what he'd do. I don't know if he'd eventually lunge and bite out of frustration ("My barking isn't intimidating this danger! Must ratchet up my method"), or if he'd eventually tuck tail, curl up under a table, and keep howling. For sure, he'd definitely not give up and wander away.

Now if they were attacking me or someone else in the family (or heck, maybe some stranger we don't even know), he'd jump in. Probably wouldn't bite, but would throw his body between the two people and then start panting from stress and anxiety. He hates chaos and fighting.
