Never escalate the bullying, keep a record , gather witnesses, stay patient. Meditate and relax in the mean time.

Bullying is not right in any case. Being the person that is on the receiving end of it would feel a little glimmer of hope if someone as a bi-stander would speak up. If that doesn't help, I would consider contacting the labour board and the bullies boss. This can all be done anonymously.

Report your boss to a higher authority because no boss has the right to harass any of their workers what so ever.

An easy fix would be to go to Human Resources, but there is always the option of gathering other co-workers and having an intervention.

If you feel comfortable, you both should file a complaint or make a petition because your boss might be harassing others as well.

The best thing to do with harassment is to report it. I know when it's your boss it can be hard to figure out who to talk to. Support your friend and find the correct people to talk to. Harassment isn't something you should have to tolerate, and reporting it to the right people should not only stop them from harassing you, but harassing others as well.

What type of harassment is it? Is there an anonymous reporting function in your workplace? Have you initiated or presented yourself as a person who will listen, for support to your friend? Harassment is a broad term and it should be clearly defined by type as this makes it easier to report the harassment. Really, if you are comfortable taking on the role of a supportive co-worker or friend is always helpful.

One can always approach the HR department and file a complaint... Or atleast bring it to their notice.. If they do not cooperate, then inform the higher authorities

If someone is being harassed by your boss, you can ask this person if they are willing to file a complaint. Doing so without their consent is not the best way to go about it, especially because it may cause a rift and things may get worse. If they are willing to file a report, they can always do it through the legal system as well! Please do speak to them about it first.
