Did I hit and run?

I was reversing in the car park (parallel parking back to back )and a man was opening his boot and I slowly revered into the car. He moved aside and got furious. I totally understnd the man's frustation. I was wrong not to see properly.

I got out and kept saying sorry as he was very angry and furious. Many people were watching me ( also probably taking photos etc) but I just wanted to apologise so I kept repeating ' I am really very sorry' to the man although he kept shouting at me. I was actually happy that he was as alright and capable to shout at me. His wife asked him to calm down and after a little while he did.

So then I asked if he and the car were fine. He said they were. I offered my number and name but he wont take it. I asked the wife to take my name and details she did not want them too. They kept saying ' just forget it, careful next time' and I again asked to take my details and the couple said ' dont worry, keep careful next time' and went into the car. I went into mine and drove off.

I then went to online reporting in police station and said that unforturnately I dont have any details of them or their vehicle but I gave all my details. The accident spot, date etc. I got a reference number from the online form. No damage done to any cars nor people ( only emotional I guess to the man, the wife and me)

So is this a hit and run as I did not give them details?. I am assuming one of the spectators will report me. So shall I say that the man was ok not taking my details?
Please help.

Thankyou everyone. I am feeling ok now :). You all so kind Halo

@riotlady .. actaully not sure about where is was exactly standing but he did say ' you could have killed me'.. so guessing he moved when he saw that my car was running into him.

I see, I do get why you’d be so shaken up by it then! But you’ve done all you can do, only thing now is to learn from it and move on

Did you let your insurance know? I think all stuff like this you are supposed to report to your insurance company

Stuff like what? Not hitting anything. He noticed, moved to the side and was angry. Fair enough. I was furious when someone nearly reversed into dd and I but as they stopped before actually hitting us when I shouted nothing to report

The op says "I slowly revered into the car." So she did hit him...
