Fielder Interference on return to base

Man between 3rd and home (doesnt really matter where) caught in a rundown, on his way BACK to 3rd, F5 blocks his path by standing in the baseline (without the ball) making the runner alter his slide back into 3rd. I believe this is clearly interference on F5, does the runner get home, or does he get automatic safe back to 3rd, since that is the base he was attempting to return to? Or, since technically the runner has already occupied 3rd base, he gets "1 base awarded" so 3+1 = Home?
