First of all, nice work. You did the right thing and had a clear enough head to make all the appropriate choices in an inappropriate situation. My guess is that if he had wanted to do it, he would have. Period. He needed you and you were there to "save" him. Some people just want to know that they are worth saving.

If you are really concerned about him, perhaps you could reach out to the police dept and find out who he was and how, if at all, you could help. They may not be able to give that info, but it may also be public information if he committed a crime.

Then, buy the guy lunch, listen to him. My guess is that you'll get as much, if not more, out of the experience than he will.

Again, nice work!
