Hyperactive child run about uncontrollably.. what to do?

Hi parents, want to share an incident that I witness recently.. and want to hear your thoughts.
I brought my girl to a trial class at one of the enrichment class recently, and there was another boy who was in the trial too.. After the trial class.. the boy does not want to go back.. even after much coaxing from the parent and the teachers.. he still refused to go back! He was throwing tantrums.. rolling on the floor.. running about the place!
After about 30 mins.. with things smashed onto the floor.. and even queue stands falling all over the place.. he finally managed to calm himself down.. and left the place.
The boy appears to be hyperactive.. and cannot control himself.. and when he throws tantrums.. he creates a situation where he could possibly hurt himself.. and others!
In such situations, what do you think we should do? Should bystanders help? Should the school teachers help? What if we hold onto the boy to prevent him from hurting himself.. instead we hurt him? Who is liable? What would you do if you saw this happening?
Wish to hear your thoughts..
