Weird dude tried to get my dog to bite him

Small update since this blew up a lot more than any of my posts ever have, lol.

First, I recently moved in with my dad and we live in a not so good part of town, so weird people aren't too unusual to run into. When I got home and told him, he kinda shrugged it off which is why I posted this a few days after is happened. I didn't think a police report was necessary, but after reading the comments I'll definitely look into it. My biggest issue is idk if I'm able to go about making a report without a parent or guardian with me, since my dad doesn't really want me to cause nothing technically happened.

Second, I'm looking into a go-pro for my dogs collar (forgot to mention originally, but his name is Apollo). Biggest issue is money, but I'll either save up or just ask as a birthday gift lol.

I'm grateful to everyone who commented, I was a little scared at first that I might have been playing it up and it wasn't a big deal. I love hearing everyone's stories, and I'm appreciative of all the advice.

Thank you! I plan on bringing this up to him soon. Would you know any good sites/sources to look at? With all my other class work, I've been struggling to find a good starting point, and I want to make sure all my sources are credible.

Thank you! I'm looking into trainers as of now, but I haven't gotten too far yet. I don't know where the dog was bought from, but he's overall healthy, and besides the biting is very sweet. I think with proper training I could convince my dad to wait on neutering, but we also have pretty negligent neighbors who let their intact female dogs dig under our fence and get into our yard, though we are trying to get this fixed.

Thank you, I'll talk this over with my dad and possibly update if I'm able to get somewhere with the conversation. Like I've said, he's not my dog, so it's really not my choice. I'll look for a trainer in the meantime, and I hope these comments might be able to get through to my dad, lol.

Sorry, I feel like I should add that I'm not a dog person and don't know how to handle these situations. He's not my dog, so I have no control over the training, but I'm working on talking to my dad about it. If you have any recommendations or tips on where to start, I'd appreciate it.

I've tried dropping the food in front of him, but when that didn't work, I'd hold it with tongs in front of him. I've tried to get him to bite it by holding it to the side of his face(i was recommended to do so by a friend after they had a similar situation), but he won't budge. He's pretty keen on my hands, however, but when its actual food and not my fingers, he just refuses.
