[ny] Community Garden Member Next To My House Harassed And Threatened Me

There’s a community garden near my house and one of the members, who I had been friendly with for years, came by yesterday and harassed me then followed up with threatening texts. Is this a police thing or a watch and wait thing?

Last year he asked to lease some land from us, our house insurance wouldn’t cover what he wanted to do with it. The. Two weeks ago he reached out about renting a garage apartment we are renovating (it isn’t finished yet). He’s always been very friendly.

Then yesterday he came up to me while I was unloading my kids from the car and spat “I know you own the whole block, or whatever, but you and your husband drive way too fast”. I apologized. He said “I don’t believe you because we’ve had this conversation a bunch of times and you almost hit me a bunch of times”. We had NEVER had a conversation on that topic before… and I never go faster than 25 or 20 on our road at the MAX (it’s also only one block off the street light, how fast could I possibly go?). My husband and I own two buildings on the block, not the whole thing.

After he left I sent him a text asking to circle back to the topic so we could keep talking about it. I was so stunned after he told me he didn’t believe me after I apologized I don’t think I said anything else.

He then sent me a whole bunch of unhinged shit about how he and my neighbor looked at ring camera footage of me speeding through the neighborhood, that even the mailman hates me, that I’m a snob, that I should “see what issues come along. Then we could talk. Maybe a sincere apology”.

Eventually I told him I hope he’s ok, not to speak to me or my family again, and that I was going to block his number (which I did).

This all felt VERY “mental health episode”. I then went to my neighbor who told me that this dude has been bringing me up to him trying to foment discord, he vehemently denied anything about his ring camera- I believe him.

Now I’m awake the next day thinking: WTF, why is this guy so obsessed with me… and is this dangerous. Should I file a police report to have it on record? Is it on that level?
