I will get my friend to have a word with him. But could do with some advice:
Met someone at a running group last year and we got talking and I said was studying Law. He then said I could help with the issues he's having with the police. I am in no way trained to do this. Nor am I actually aware of the issues.
A few months later, he suggested we meet up for coffee, which I said was ok and gave him my number. He wouldn't stop texting me and leaving me voicemails, despite me asking him 3 times to stop it. He claimed he couldn't help because of his OCD. I then told him we're not meeting up. (partly because of that and because I'd made last minute plans)
I then saw him a few days later and we were with other people and he wouldn't leave me alone. I couldn't really say anything because we were with others.
My friend told me that he was told what was going on and said he's done it to others before.
I was then informed that he'd been sectioned (at one point, he blamed me for his depression and OCD - something he says he's had for years now) and was told if any of us do decide to see him, we shouldn't go on our own. I never went to see him.
He was then released from the hospital and joined up with the running group. He's now acting as though nothing's happened and that we're friends. I don't want to be friends with him. I don't want to be friends with someone who treated me the way he did.
I posted this somewhere else and was told if I'm civil towards him, (which was the plan) he may take it the wrong way and think we're friends.
Advice please?
