Well I'm glad for you that you didn't feel particularly traumatized by it.
It made me wonder what's the 'best' response to such a thing. I found a recommendation to *avoid* expressing shock, fear, terror, or disgust (since that's likely to encourage them), calmly go about your business, distance yourself from the offender, and report it to the police ASAP. That's pretty much just what you did, except I guess you might have walked away from him. So your instincts were really good there.
