Just do it so he will stop his nonsense. If not, will get braver and you life will get worse.

you can make a police report, it is after all, a report. A record of an event.

Now rather or not further investigation is warranted, that depends on what you had reported, and/or evidence that you have to present.

But, consider all the consequences, as you are residing there for the conceivable future.

Explain nicely to him, say i don't know how to fix it and if i do it now, the result is no good. Else i ask my contractor to fix it nicely by tomorrow.

saw a trick from internet some time ago..
invite a bunch of "scary looking" biker group/ etc to your house for an "open house" and make sure he sees you interacting with them and attempt to intro them to your neighbour..he'll get that you are not one to mess with.

So even if my mum as witness, or assuming I have any proof to prove that he threatened to cause harm to me, police also won't take any action ?

next time when approaching him, turn on your voice/ video recorder. time to do that.

everything is about evidence these days.

buy one of those recording device - glasses or turn on video recording on your HP, put it in your t-shirt pocket facing him when u going to see him or when he approach u later.

Hello, serious question here. My neighbor is a very aggressive person, since day one his trying to make things difficult and causing trouble for us, it all first started when my town council came to do the outside drain of our house, which is not our compound, and they cracked a very tiny part of his outside compound, so he told us to fix it immediately in an aggressive manner, but we told him it's not our business as he should complain to town council, but he just insisted that we fix it for him, as he demands it, but that is a long past issue.

Today, I went over to check on my house as it's still under renovation, and the side fencing is a bit crooked and looking like it's going to topple down, and he told me to fix it and I said I will, I'll get my workers to fix it tomorrow, but again as per his usual character, he insists us to do it now, I told him no, we will do it tomorrow because it's not possible to get it fix now. So, he came walking swiftly at me, and threatening to cause harm to me, saying sentence like I will break your face, you prick or something along the lines, my mum is with me so she can be witness to it.

I'm thinking of making a police report, is this going to be any useful ? Will the police be doing anything against him ? Looking for serious advice, thanks.

Lack of prove or evidence la, on top of that who would show CCTV to get them self in trouble? ...... you can't just set your phone at the corner also, that's entrapment. Best you can do is video record during encounter. Or set up your own CCTV, cause when judge ask why you setup new cctv on your side you can say after first encounter you decide to setup CCTV not to entrap that guy but its for your own protection. Its different from hiding your phone at the corner then engage with him.

Whatever you do make sure you are not the one throwing punches. And if I where you I wouldn't even respond to the guy. Just set up cctv and ignore, the moment he make a move on anything deem threatening just call the police.

Wait until your house finish renovation and your neighbor park his car at your front gate, these kind of people very hard to talk reason with them and they will lie all the way

If worse a fight broke out, you dont hit him 1st and only defend your self. if you dont fight back you can charge him for assault if you fight back then the case will be under you 2 fighting and you also kena

when this neighbor come find trouble with you always ask your family members to take video of the incident, anything happen just appoint a lawyer and dont let polis deal with it only

Thanks for the advice, yeah I will not do anything to him and if he assault me all the better, I'll let him do that and then get tested for bruises in hospital, and make a police report. Other than that from now on whenever I go to my house and check up, if I see him there I'll turn on my voice recorder / camera beforehand just in case.
