I agree with what people have said above!
I too am on the side that if you are RPing in public in /say, then 99% of the time it's okay to approach them ICly if it seems appropriate to do so.
I say "appropriate to do so" because if say people are having what looks like a very personal or emotional argument (who knows, it could have evolved into such a talk and they happened to be in public) then I would feel awkward inserting myself into such a scene since that is how I would feel in real life.
Although that may or may not apply to say a conflict that breaks out in public. It's tricky if you have a character who ICly would try and break up a fight before people get hurt, and yet you are not sure if people who are running the scene want some random person getting involved. I would probably shoot off an OOC tell just in case? Although I have jumped in before into a stand off before without an OOC exchange, and all the parties involved just rolled with it and it turned out well. So I guess it depends on case by case scenario.
