There was a time my friend had an attack like this, even the girl he was chyking ran from him, i and another guy didn’t leave him, we ran to him and restrained him from hurting himself, after about two minutes, it stopped, he was so happy we stood by him and thanked us.

People like that need your help. Don’t abandon them to the mercies of criminals that will steal their belongings and their own self harm.
Help them. If you were in their shoes, you won’t want anybody to desert you, when you truly need help.
