You have the same obligation as if you were running a car park and a
customer came up to you saying that some guy he knew had just
threatened his life while he was parking his car.  Personally, I'd
encourage the guy to contact the police.  I happy to hear that you do
feel an obligation to help, given that somebody appealed to you for
it.
