I believe I know what your friend's advice will be.

Getting involved could make you liable. What happens when you're restraining someone who gets hit why he can’t defend himself? What if you pull someone away and you end up injuring that person?

Besides the fact that the officials may make a very inviting target for some knucklehead.

Let the field administrator handle it. Call the police. Protect yourself.
