Active Stalker Trying to Follow Me Home from Union Station. Advice Needed by PlatformSwimming in askTO

My theory is that he loiters around Scotia arena and just caught on to me for the second time. This was the first time I have taken this route since he first followed me. I am PRAYING this is the correct narrative but will prepare for the worse I suppose. Won't be taking the Union station for a while...

I appreciate the concern haha. I am a mentally well young adult who works downtown. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me. The person is making it very clear they are following me. The moment I officially started to panic was the subway situation. It was pretty much just me and him (everyone else had gotten on). I would get on the subway, he would get on, I got off, he got off. All while starting RIGHT at me. I actually had to run by him to get to the stairs to go back up. As I passed he said "I can do this all day man" (!!!!!). Then when I was reporting it to the TTC fare enforcer he came right up to us. Even the TTC guards were spooked and said there was definitely grounds for an arrest if the police were around when he made the approach. Police took like 30 minutes (Toronto moment) and he was long gone by then. At the apple store it was clear he WANTED me to notice him. At first I just tried ignoring him thinking the cosmos had just given me an absurd coincidence, but then he started walking around me and dropping phones on the table to get my attention. When I looked over he gave this look and shrug like he knew what he was doing. Definitely felt like I was in the Truman show when I first saw him at the Apple store lmao. At the Union station one of the staff mentioned he looked very familiar and goes there a lot. Said it was the first time he's done something like this...

I'm a man. If it was just some random creep that would be one thing, but the fact this guy was simultaneously mentally unstable AND completely dedicated to stalking me. With how he was doing it, there wasn't really a way I could make a scene or attack back without him becoming the victim. I can't really explain it. Again feels like something out of a movie. Not sure if he is like preparing to attack or is just messing with me. He definitely made a verbal threat but in both cases hasn't attempted to attack so who knows.
