I once summoned the police in Nagoya under similar circumstances. A gentleman had passed out with half of his body on the sidewalk and half in a busy street, around 7 PM in a very well-trafficked portion of Nagoya. If he had been there for more than five minutes, dozens of people had already passed him, and surely one of them had... was presumably the calculation that everyone had made. I made the same calculation, got twenty feet away, and then had a strong feeling of "God requires you to do better than that", so I walked to the local koban (police popup box) and explained that someone had passed out in the street. They hadn't heard of it, and after asking a few questions which were transparently designed to elicit whether he was homeless or a productive member of society, we walked twenty minutes over to find him still in the road. The cops succeeded in rousing him, ascertained that his normal address was a park across town, and told him to go to it rather than sleeping in the street. They also made him apologize to me, because quote "Onii-san [+] here is clearly exhausted after a long day of work but nonetheless went out of his way to summon the police because he was worried about you. You should apologize for having caused him distress." The cops then noticed there was a bar next door and called the proprietor out. They asked if he had noticed the man collapsed outside his establishment. The proprietor said "Yeah. I had assumed he was sleeping it off." At this point one of the officers went positively volcanic. He proceeded to throw a loud tirade about the general decline of Japanese society and the particularized lack of moral fiber of the bar owner, who would not life a finger for his countryman while quote even the Brazilian endquote knew it was clearly necessary. [+] Literally "elder brother", figuratively a roughly appropriate non-specific address for a young man.
