Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

A man saw me get into an argument that he thought confrontational. When I walked away he chased me in his car and pulled up next to me and pulled out a .22 pistol and told me not to move or he would shoot me, he then hid his gun and got out of his car with a wooden baton and told me to sit on the curb or he would beat me with it. Other people came but before they got there he hid his baton in his car. When I told the other men he pulled a gun on me he denied even having a gun and claimed that he only had a holster and that I had mistaken it for a gun which is false. I then stood up to straighten my shirt and the mans son tackled me and held me on the ground for several minutes. He then told me I could go and I ran away. I was in sustained fear for my life, also I am a minor of 15. What I need to know is what crimes this man and his son committed either against me or in general, and which ones are felonies and which ones are misdemeanors, and if it is possible to obtain a police report so I can get this mans name. Please and thank you

Your best bet is probably to call the District Attorney's office and ask to speak to a victim's advocate who can tell you if the man was arrested and what charges if any is he facing.

He probably wasn't arrested if you didn't complain.

"Get a police report"??

Were the police called and a report made by anyone at the time with the ID of the culprit?

If you or someone else didn't call police and have him identified at the scene, and if you don't know who he is, how do you think you can do anything now??
