If he is impeding the job of the true rescuers whose job it is and they had things under control before he butted in...... then it's an obstruction. Is it jail worthy? Depends on his attitude.
It's the same as if a fire breaks out and some guy starts running in and endangers firefighters lives because he is trying to be a hero.
Now if noone is there helping, and he chooses to do something, then cool. But it sounds like he took it upon himself to interfere, and while the deed was noble it could seriously have had negative repercussions.
