"safety first May have some mental health issues. I'd probably speak to staff to check if he's known/usual behaviour " Yes this. | |||

"Man sat next to you in a cafe. Eating chips and mumbling under his breath about you. "Ugly fat cunt in your shitty red top" "So fucking boring, fuck off out of here" "You're so stupid and doing my head in you dickhead" Little kids sat at nearby tables. What do you do?" Slap his face and public humiliate him. | |||

"Ask him if he’s okay." Would it be wise to interact with him though? | |||

"Ask him if he’s okay. Would it be wise to interact with him though? " Very much dependent on you. A lot of issues and people’s dramas can be helped with a simple welfare question. May not be safe or appropriate though as obviously you are there. | |||

Lots of families with little kids at next tables. | |||

My previous post was saying what I might do, but ultimately in your case you were right to let him leave first then hopefully walk away in the other direction. | |||

"Judging by what he said, he's having an internal conversation that you're only hearing half of, best to give a wide berth as it sounds like he has mental health problems. If he's out in the community he is probably no more of a threat than anyone else in there but antagonising the situation could cause a bad reaction. He needs compassion, not a beating. " Yes that's the impression I got, that he was talking to himself but out loud. I didn't make eye contact or acknowledge him. He was mumbling, not saying it directly to me. Didn't want to escalate things. | |||

" It is unfortunate you felt the brunt of this however , on first thoughts regarding his words he does not sound responsible for his words , perhaps a version of tourette's As some have said compassion not brutality would be my thought Recently I have had encounters with a gentleman, he can be aggressive and intimidating, but I know he is "unwell" I control my fear and help him to my best ability We do not know if the man the OP described is nasty or unwell , the words quoted suggest to me unwell , and that's how I would treat it and take nothing intended or personal from the experience | |||

"How awful. These things do shake you up. I probably would’ve frozen and either left or done nothing, even if there are wiser options. So sorry this happened to you.- Mrs. " Thank you. I felt bad for the guy but wasn't sure what to do for the best really. Wanted to ask other people in case I'm ever in the same situation again. | |||

It didn't feel appropriate to 'help' him. He was ok eating his chips but just seemed annoyed at us talking on the next table. Thank you. | |||

I certainly was not suggesting you should have helped him , rational or not they are very scary , walking away was wise | |||

Sometimes people make us feel guilty for not helping. I was just thinking about that. It didn't seem a good idea to interact in case I made him more angry. | |||
