I tried my best to ignore him, but he kept at it. Finally I turned around from my work, and told him to "shut the **** up". He got in my face, and said "this isn't over- we'll finish this in the parking lot after work".
Keep in mind I am about half his age, half his size, and he's the one yelling about how we will finish this after work. (Seems a little childish to me.) He stayed in my face for a minute or two yelling profanity, with no supervisors or any other co-workers stepping in to stop him.
I felt threatened enough that I left work, and even made a police report about the incident. (I want my bases covered in-case he ever does anything physical) The officer went into my work and warned the employee, and basically told him to back off, and that if he kept it up I could indeed press charges.
What is my next step here? I am trying to cover my ass because this worthless get me by job is just a temporary thing until I start my career. Is there any other actions I should take?

file a complaint with the company you work with too. That is, if they have a human resources person, go talk to them a file an official report saying you are not happy that managment did nothing.
Complain about use of language, that's a legit beef. Complain about his threat, complain about his overall actions. Then tell the human resources person you filed a police report because you felt your employer allowed this to happen.
Put it on those asshats.
