Had a major scare, encounter with potential criminal

Subs take it up the butt
I assure you, the title is not hyperbole. This actually happened.
I did some errands today and walked to my bus stop to get home. When I got there, there was a guy frantically screaming CALL THE POLICE! while wearing no coat. Remember, it's the middle of deadass winter here and temperatures were at freezing point with gusty winds. The guy didn't LOOK like something was wrong with him since he had no normal clothes, but the way he was asking for the cops to be called didn't sit right with me since he never said why they should be called in the first place. A bus pulled up and the dude banged on the doors demanding the driver to call the cops. Driver basically noped out of there and I decided to do the same. I put my phone away and started walking up the block the opposite way. After walking a bit, I heard someone talking behind me. I stopped at a corner to let the guy pass, but when I looked up, I saw it was the same guy and he was talking on a cell phone. I am not sure if he stole it or what, but the only thing I remember hearing him talk about was where he was.
Seeing it was safe, I walked back to my bus stop and I saw two cop cars pull up at the wrong side of the street (my side). The cops got out and talked to this woman who was there when I saw the guy before. She told them where the guy went and they went up the block. Luckily, my bus came after and I got on. During the ride, I saw two more cop cars going up the block, so I knew something had to have gone down.
Once I get back home, I read the local news and saw that there was an altercation at a Costco gas station where an officer was injured trying to apprehend a suspect. I didn't know if it was from that same guy before or just a coincidence. One of the people who left a comment said that he saw the whole thing go down. I asked him if the suspect was wearing a blue shirt and he said yes he was.
I thought I was gonna shit myself reading that. To think that I actually had a run in with someone who could have done something that would involve the cops. I thank the lord that not only the guy never paid any mind to me, but that I also made the right call by walking away. I still very unsettled by the whole encounter. In my whole life of living in this place and walking around like nothing, this is making me think a bit.

take it easy for a few days tho. That kind of stress can hurt you in the long run
Yeah, crime is real scary. Reminds me of the time I got involved in a DD and felt I was almost ready to get jumped.
