Weird scam attempt in a grocery store parking lot — should I also report to police?

About an hour ago (around 9:54 PM) something strange happened to me in the Price Chopper parking lot.

A man came up to my car, bent down looking underneath, and told me he “dropped a brick of something” under there (I couldn’t really understand what he meant). I pulled my car a little to show him there was nothing. Suddenly he started accusing me of stealing it and kept blaming me even though I was just trying to help.

Then he threatened to call the cops on me. I told him, “Go ahead, call them.” He weirdly replied, “So I have your permission to call now?” I repeated “Go ahead,” and then he started walking away talking on his phone. He never actually called anyone and just disappeared.

Before leaving, he aggressively threw a shopping cart across the lot.

I don’t have video of the whole incident, but I do have footage showing the cart on the ground afterward and a blurry clip of him walking away. I already reported this to the store, but I’m wondering if I should also report it to the police.

Has anyone else seen this type of scam? And would you recommend filing a police report even with partial video evidence?
