Being Threatened at Work

[TLO]

I need some advice here.

The other night at my workplace, I was involved in a verbal argument with a co-worker, (with my co-worker doing most of the yelling). He had an issue with the way I was doing something at work, and absolutely laid into me with a verbal assault laced with profanity.

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?

Psycho switched to a Kosher diet.

He presses his emergency button a lot.

Another reason is people are different. Not everyone can get their point across the same way.

BTW your quote is the softest thing I've ever heard. People with your same sentiment are the reason you can't even raise your voice toward your own wife without being taken to jail. The same people are the ones who were appalled by Rex Ryan, a HEAD FOOTBALL COACH for using profanity. You can't call a gay person gay. You cant call a black person black. You cant mention that an asian has slanty eyes even though its a known fact. You can't get into a drunken fist fight with your best friend on ur own damn lawn. You can't hit a child who just doesn't listen. You can't hit a woman for being a lying cheating slut. You can't watch Looney Toons because when they get blown up their damn faces are colored black. You can't tell a co-worker she looks beautiful today because of fear of losing your job. You can't fire a gay person without the thought that maybe they'll come back and sue you for prejudice when really they were just a lousy employee. Hell can you even hit your own DOG? Probably not. You can't heckle opposing teams' fans in your OWN STADIUM. My fiance works @ an orphanage... the employees legally cannot even break up a fight or hold them against their will while they scratch and claw the shit out of you.... You can't tell a foreigner thats lived here longer than you've BEEN ALIVE to learn some ****ing English already. And you cant yell at your co-worker and say things that maybe you didnt mean in the heat of the moment without gettin told on and sued.

Definitely one of the greatest things I've read on the internet.
