Is it harassment?

I ended a relationship about five weeks ago due to persistent lying on his behalf. Since then he is turning up at places that I go to socialise at the weekends. I have a friendship group at these places, it’s where we meet to watch bands and catch up. However he turns up there and stands on his own all night, he also likes to watch bands and I wouldn’t be fussed if he’s there or not as long as he isn’t bothering me.
However at the end of the night he asks if I want to share a taxi. I always say no. However a couple of nights ago he was following me and my friend along the road asking again about a taxi. I told him no and he demanded to know why. Then he said he would never leave me alone, grabbed a necklace I was wearing snd said I obviously still love him as I’m wearing a necklace I bought when we were together. He was shouting in my face and he assaulted my friend, A group of people intervened and I was able to leave and get home. The next day he messaged me to apologise and I text back telling him to leave me alone.
Its either harassment or he’s finding it hard to let go but it’s starting to scare me. I do not do anything to encourage him to behave in this way.
Is it worth reporting or should I just see if he sticks to word of leaving me alone? He only behaves like this when he’s drunk, He is currently staying with his son which is two minutes walk away from my house and I’m worried he could turn up here.

You should definitely log the incident with the police. Hopefully he sticks to his word but just incase he doesn’t they will know the best way to proceed. Keep a note of the dates/times he turns up at places you go. If you don’t already have one perhaps invest in a ring doorbell so if he did call round you don’t inadvertently open the door to him.
