Intentionally causing a person to fear harm is assault. Greentext is committing assault. It might not be possible to convict for it, but it’s still assault.
No it isn’t when there’s probable cause. And “dude started running after me” is enough for self defense to kick in. Actually it is probably enough to charge the dude.
That’s called assault and it is a crime.

OP was just walking. Where are you getting this running idea from?
Literally says “speeds up my steps as well”.
Speed walking and running are distinctly different things.
They had legitimate reason to believe they were in danger. Not assault at all.
