By this time batter-runner rounds 1B ... looks up and sees he is about to pass R1 ... batter-runner reaches out and grabs R1 ... preventing him from being passed ... Without the grab ... R1 would have definately been passed by batter-runner ...
Any rule to cover another runner who physically assist ... all I can find is a coach cannot ... Thanks for your help ...

Although its not exactly the same situation as asked about in the OP, its along the same lines I guess.
From September 2005:
TORONTO -- Boston's Gabe Kapler ruptured his left Achilles' tendon while rounding second base on Tony Graffanino's fifth-inning homer during Wednesday night's 5-3 win over Toronto.
Graffanino's ball went over the left-field wall, and Kapler fell to the ground. He got up on one knee but couldn't continue.
After a five-minute delay, Kapler was carted off the field. Alejandro Machado pinch ran starting at second base and finished circling the bases.
"I felt like I got hit at the back of my ankle," said Kapler, who wasn't in pain after the game. "I just had seen the ball go over."
