"...I could see him easily hurting himself..."
or others, including you. Please be careful. I think it is possible to be drawn into another's psychosis so that you may become a target, with the outcome depending on whether you are seen as an attacker or savior at the moment.
To get more info, this probably warrants a visit to some of the boards on the internet that talk about being a friend/family member of someone who is schizophrenic. Or, a talk with some of the mental health people around, including hotlines that might exist.
Good luck,
Shar
