It depends on whom you ask for help.
You could say:
aiutami! if you want to draw someone's attention, using an imperative or
mi aiuti per favore?
this is a more polite and less urgent manner.
Besides you could use the more formal :
mi aiuta per favore? if the person you address is not a friend of yours.

I agree with Paola,
but if you're ... in the wrong side of the city, only dark around you, not a light, not a man, not a soul in the street, only your fear inside/beside you... then you will cry aloud:
AIUTO!!!
or
AIUTATEMI!!
:-)

: In such a case I would rather remain as silent as poss, and try to blend in the surrounding darkness. Putative criminals would not hear me coming :-)

just enjoy adding to the frightening context two more options :-)
1) QUALCUNO MI AIUTI!!!
2) AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
wish you all an unworried night... :)))

: Option 2) would be just fine for a hypothetical would-be assailant once I am finished with him in the darkness. :-)=

Al fuoco! Al ladro
Ellio:
Sometimes this sentence is implicit, I forget the correct linguistic term, in spoken context.
you approach someone smiling (day time, right side of the city) and say: Scusi, mi puo' dire dov'e' ......
La richiesta di aiuto e' implicita nella pragmatica della frase e non deve essere esplicitata oltre.
Ma, se sei nella condizione indicata dalle colleghe, in cui hai bisogno di aiuto urgente, ioi griderei "Al fuoco"
in questo modo la gente accorre, perche' non credi di dover affrontare un criminale... Lo insegnano ai bambini a scuola, e parlo del Canada, per difendersi da eventuali pedofili in macchina....
la forma di richiesta urgente e' preceduta da "al" (al fuoco, al ladro).
But if there is a real danger, should "al fuoco" not "al ladro"
ciao
