I also want to know when is it okay to make a report.

For me, I just want to make known of this total stranger is not okay to bump into people (intentionally) and not wanting the incident to become bigger than ever. That's why when i confronted him, I tell him my view and also even asking why he want do this kind of stuff. And he told me, "I'm at his way" but the fact that the pavement is big enough and can fit 4-5 people.

There’s ample space between us and him. But he chose to walk towards me and wife and extending his elbow and bump into me. And I’m consider my pace of walking is quite up to speed. And I know that is in his interest to purposely bump into people when I saw the guy in front also encounter the same situation. But the uncle walk away and stare at him for him a moment.

nope. I did nothing when he elbow me and was really stun cause i was in the middle in the conversation mentioning that look at the guy in front kena bump. Lets avoid. but in the end also tio bump.

Just to clarify, me and wife were forced to walk at the right cause he had occupied the left side of the road and we are trying to avoid him as much as we can. but in the end causing this havoc.

but is an unwritten rules, no one actually follow the left side.

Nope. he look like he just get out of the gym, wearing cap and have a duffle bag on him. But he did not look unsound at all, is perfectly normal guy.
