FED rules you would have to give him a base by rule. This is a delayed dead ball.
If playing under OBR guidelines, then its also a delayed call, but there is
type A (play being made on runner) and type B (play not being made)
Under type b the umpire gives the runner what he thought he would have gotten absent the obstruction so he could remain at first. If there is any doubt though, give him the extra base is the guideline that I've used.
Hope that helps
