If you are unskilled, you should do nothing beyond calling the police. The only thing here that is inexcusable is completely ignoring the situation and failing to call the police. This is a lot like being a "doctor in the house". Sadly, many doctors nowadays keep quiet or count to 5-Mississippi before revealing that they are a doctor and can help a stranger in need, due to malpractice lawsuits.
