Connor's patrol doesn't go through this area - he just has to pass through it to get back to the precinct. But it is Hank's area, so he's keeping an eye out as he passes through. (Not that it's a big effort to memorise Hank's patrol, but he still looked it up that morning and that probably says something about him)
It means that he's in the general area to hear screaming in the distance, and when he does, he breaks into a run. What he finds is Hank and a young woman in the middle of a loose crowd, and before he does anything else he's visually scanning both. Hank's fine, he's not injured. The girl is so clearly highly stressed he didn't need to scan her at all to pick that up.
"I need all of you to move along," he addresses the people gathering around them before anything else...and has to physically start chivvying them out of the way with some sharper words and a lot of glaring when several of them decide to ignore the skinny, harmless-looking traffic cop. A couple of drivers rubber-necking move on after he pointedly stares.
When most people have at least pretended to move on, he carefully addresses both Hank and the girl at once, just in case she can't answer...or can and doesn't like him making Hank talk for her.
