This is a criminal matter. The next time he strikes her, she must have the police arrest him.

Another option is to find a really big guy to accompany her home and ask the fellow to leave. Sometimes bullies just walk away when confronted.

Start by going to a women's shelter for advice. They can give very specific help.
