If I see a male friend of mine in that situation, then what I do is go up to him and explain to him that he's making someone uncomfortable and to back off. If he's my friend, he doesn't want to harass anyone; he was doing it by accident; he'll step off. I don't have to try to trick him into anything or call the cops on him, because if he's my friend, he'll listen.
If I'm so scared of him I don't dare talk to him myself and need to call the cops, he's not my friend.
