i called 911? Any answers are highly appreciated.
Earlier tonight i was walking with my friend downtown when a guy that seemed either drunk or drugged walking towards us started to scream at the girl walking with him and act like he was hitting her. I paid no attention to him and as soon as i passed him he turned around and started asking me if i had a problem. At this point i was right next to my car so i opened the door to the car and asked my lady friend to get in. I also took out my phone and dialed 911. in the mean time the guy was still in my face asking if i had a problem with him. When i took out my phone he put his hands in his pockets and started saying that he had a knife too and whether i wanted to fight. i got in my car and started it and as i was on the phone with the operator the guy kicked my car and started walking away. He kicked it hard enough to put a 3" dent in it. I told the operator what happened and gave my location. five minutes later a couple of police officers showed up and i filed a police report. I believe the guy hid somewhere since he knew i called the police and i highly doubt they are going to find him. I think i can track this person down and report him to the police since he was wearing a uniform and seemed like he was walking home and he used that street as a usual route. Is that recommended and do you have any advice on whether or not i should really pursue this issue? Any legal advice will also be highly appreciated. I would hate for this guy to get away with this kind of behavior since i know next time he could do something more serious and actually hurt someone. If i do track him down, am i liable in any way and is it against the law? i am not planning on confronting him i just want to get his information so i can pursue this legally.
Thank you in advance
