Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...

I can understand your concerns for your friend...

Well, at this outset, it's important to know if both of them are known to/familiar with each other or not...

Secondly, if both of them are sleeping in the same room, and if your friend had any previous history of sleep-walking/anxiety/nightmares then this needs to be evaluated in details (by a Neurologist preferably)...

If this has happened only once, then it can be attributed to some panicky situation, terror or nightmares during sleep etc.

However, if this keeps on repeating and your friend is having no recollection of this after waking up, then he needs to be examined first by the Neurologist to look into it in details...

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Kind Regards
