AITA for calling the police on a homeless man.

NTA

Wow: might be time to consider getting a new BF!?

If anyone treated my GF that way, I'd be raging and pursuing the matter, and would want them out of the neighborhood, that's for certain.

So I'm pretty baffled here as to why your BF actually seems more concerned about an utter stranger, than your safety?

You should take this as a STRONG warning sign about your BF.

But ya... this homeless person crossed a serious line and was becoming frighteningly aggressive towards you (on your own rental private property in terms of the building parking lot).

You had to think fast, and deal with this situation when you were alone and likely utterly defenseless, against someone who might have a violent mental illness, or under the influence of a strong drug.

You did the RIGHT thing, by driving away--a perfect form of de-escalation, since you removed yourself physically from the threat and incident).

You may have also done the neighborhood a HUGE favor, since you can be sure you're not the only one he approaches and treats this way.

There's probably a large number of other homeless people in the neighborhood that greatly fear him! So your actions were likely helping multiple homeless people.

If your boyfriend can't see and can't understand this, he's an absolute idiot, and again: the fact that he seemed to have no concern for your safety is certainly an alarming quality in a BF.
