Narrative:

I was working final a position; running mixed ILS runway 10 and visual approach to runway 10. My partner was working final 'O' position running ILS runway 9L sidestep to runway 9R. Air carrier X was cleared for visual approach to runway 10 and established on final. Air carrier Y was on runway 9L final. Air carrier Y turned southeast and then sbound converging with air carrier X in less than 5 seconds. I called traffic or traffic alert to air carrier X. Air carrier X had air carrier Y in sight. By then the targets were merging and air carrier X and air carrier Y were both turning; and or taking other evasive action. I instructed air carrier X to maneuver as needed as I did not know what air carrier Y was doing. Eventually I had air carrier X turn southwest and climb to 4000 ft to establish separation from air carrier Y.
