It could be this guy has tourettes. Then he wouldn't be a crazy or bad guy but have a problem that sometimes makes him do things that seem scary like shout or make faces or motions. I'm thinking maybe that would be less scary for a child that a bad crazy guy? Maybe you can say it could be that he wasn't trying to be scary but maybe couldn't control it for a second and feels bad about it after, some people have that. But it might be too late for that if you told him he's in jail. If it were me I would have thought tourettes or something neurological causing it because that doesn't seem like a normal act even if a person is antisemitic I think they would have expressed it in a more normal way.

Eta: how did he react when you ran away? Did he laugh meanly or act like nothing happened?

thanks, I took your advice in the end. told him that there is a sickness, that the man didnt even mean to do it... I think it helped him
