Should I report this man?

Name changed for this. Was having a causal conversation today with a man I’ve spoken to on and off for a few months - he’s tried it on with me and I (politely) turned him down in the past, so it’s always been platonic which he seemed fine with, and we got along quite well. I wouldn’t say we were friends or close friends, just chat occasionally.

Today he brought the conversation into relationships and I said yes I was dating someone, and the conversation took a really sour tone - which quickly escalated into flat out abuse, and him telling me I’d be better off dead - he hopes I die as I would be doing everyone a favour - don’t deserve to be alive.. and how he has told everyone he knows about me and how evil I am.. Hmm it went on for paragraphs and ended with him telling me I deserve all of the awful things which will happen to me now Confused in total shock because we have only chatted casually and nothing deep or meaningful. I haven’t even mentioned him to any of my friends/family.

I obviously stopped replying and blocked him, but I’m not sure if I should report to a non emergency number as I’m a bit worried with how aggressive and angry he was (with nothing which even provoked it). Would that be an overreaction? He doesn’t know exactly where I live but knows whereabouts. Thanks in advance. Flowers

I thought
clairs law was just for someone your actually dating/in a relationship with. not some randomer on the internet youve never met

Thanks for responses.

It was more the ‘bad things are going to happen to you and you’ll deserve them all’ part which has me on edge. And how completely unprovoked it all was. I would have thought he was on drugs or drunk if his grammar hadn’t been perfect Confused might just keep him blocked (obviously) and keep evidence saved. Difficult to put across the threatening tone without copying and pasting his entire rant - but I’m not a particularly soft or easily rattled person usually. Flowers
