As I do when I'm anywhere. I keep my wits about me and put my camera away if sense any bother.
They can count themselves lucky. I remember being on the bus in Washington, and you'd usually get an ambush of waterbombs as it passed through a bus link!
These incidents happened in the town centre and I had just taken photos at the times so still had the camera round my neck.
Annoyingly it seems like I am getting hassle everytime I go to Darlington these days although I am not having problems anywhere else it seems to be exclusively in Darlington Town Centre, I had one minor incident in Bishop Auckland Bus Station but that one was not too bad. It's amazing when you see some of the dumps I have been taking photographs in (even Ashington!) and have no bother but I always have issues in Darlington Town Centre especially on Sundays.
I do often put the camera away when I suspect there may be problems normally but had just taken photos at the time so had no time to hide the camera.
Annoyingly I could do with observing more Dales and District services for photos and I need a photo of peak time only Proctors service 610R which replaced the X59 recently.
