Narrative:

Passenger refused to give name or identify. Knocked me over, getting out of seat, running toward front of aircraft. Watched him go in mid lavatory. When he returned, I asked him to please tap me on the shoulder to let me know, I would let him by. I told him he knocked me over pretty good. He replied he enjoyed it, too. I repeated, 'next time, tap me on the shoulder, so I can be aware to move.' he replied that I was too sensitive. Never apologized. He then wanted my name, etc, which I gave to him. I asked him for his information, but he ignored me. When deplaning, both his fellow passenger on his row gave (offered) me their idents for witness to his actions: knocking me over, purposely not following flight attendant's instructions, and not putting carry-on items under seat for landing (seated in exit row), purposely making a dangerous situation. Passenger seated next to him as witnesses to the event said they saw him knock me over. My back was to him, so I couldn't tell if he was trying to knock me over to get to cockpit. Notified captain immediately of event.
