Anyone who commits an act dictated by the necessity to protect himself or others, or the property of such a person or of others from any serious imminent danger that such a person did not cause intentionally; the latter could not prevent it by any other means, he shall not be responsible for such act, provided that the act so committed is in proportion with the danger intended to be avoided and the act shall not be considered as such, in the event that it is perpetrated by anyone who is legally obligated to confront such a danger.
