Narrative:
I was the PNF in an R44 when we approached ZZZ airport. After calling left base to runway xx and final; we air taxied down the runway at 70 ft. After about 1 min; we noticed a cirrus passing underneath us on landing rollout. After exiting the helicopter; the cirrus pilot proceeded to physically and verbally assault me. He claimed that we 'cut him off' on final and he had the right of way. We never saw or heard him. He put us in a dangerous situation just to drive home a point! The local FSDO has been notified.
