this is incredible. have you calmed down yet?
firstly: well done for keeping your cool. you saved a bad situation from becoming much worse. I certainly wouldnt have done so well.
second. did you get witness details and registration of the car? what about police badge numbers?
third: a crime has been committed. Although this may not be a traffic incident, you can still go to a police station and file a report. Be VERY persistent. Assault is defined as "an act which puts someone in fear of immediate unlawful harm/violence". When you file your report make sure you use these words in your witness statement. He also left the scene without leaving his insurance details. Get a crime number.
