The narrative is sufficiently ambiguous to prevent things being taken further. However, for your information.
The airspace was Class 'G' (Read the thread)
The VFR traffic was given a turn which he ignored (I've got him in sight)
The IFR traffic had a TCAS Resolution Advisory - in most airlines ops manuals This must be accepted and acted on. My intervention stopped him breaking off the approach!
This event was not 'OTT' as you say - it really happened and the blips got very close and the VFR guy is very lucky he's not being filed against because his actions caused the IFR (an airliner full of pax) to be extremely concerned.
I gave the VFR traffic some credit for being competent - never again!
