It definitely wasn't Edgeworth's day at all now that he sees the thing has a weapon. Definitely some sort of costumed hooligan in Edgeworth's mind. Why Mort was chasing it is beyond him, he's guessing said hooligan must be running away after committing theft.
He definitely tries his best to get out of the way, because he really has absolutely no ability for self-defense outside of run away and knowing to carry some pepper spray. Problem is, the latter requires getting close to that thing and that isn't happening, so run away sounds like a good idea. He definitely does his best to keep as much to the other side of the sidewalk, even going right up against the side of a building to get as much out of the way as possible. Once he sees the danger he realizes he needs to make a quick decision to either run past it and duck into the parking garage now about 20 feet away, which would require jumping over a concrete wall (and he never was very athletic), or retreating and ducking in between some buildings to get out of the way.
He decides on the latter and turns to run away, not exactly smart since it puts his back to the thing, but he can move faster that way. Unfortunately, the monster likely can outrun him.
