Dealing with aggressive homeless people

So my friend came and visited me while I was staying in SF in a hotel for the weekend. We had a pretty chill weekend and he had parked in a garage about 2 blocks away. I help him carry some luggage and when we’re one block down we cross the street when the go light is on. I make it to the other side and wait on the corner of the intersection because we have to cross the street again and this homeless guy with a wagon of stuff I think was trying to cross to where we just were. He yells at me and says for me to get the fuck out of his way. I sidestep and he doesn’t move and just glares at me and is like DUDE WTF GET OUT MY WAY AND goes up to me and pushes me. I tell him fuck off and the other walkway goes off so my friend and I start crossing again. We looked back at the guy and he’s in the middle of his walkway just pissed off and still staring at me and is like YOU MADE ME DROP SOMETHJNG STUPID PIECE OF SHIT! He calls me the n word and f slur and yells and says he’s going to punch me in the face. My friend and I scurried off but he was just screaming at me as I was walking away. I don’t really want trouble but I honestly was not in this guys way at all and my friend said he was about to shove him if he got aggressive in my face or followed me.

How do you deal with aggressive homeless people if they literally aren’t even panhandling or anything but they just come up to you like they have a problem with you?

I’m a 5’10 pretty scrawny white guy, I’ve been to sf many times but never had an interaction like this. My friend is 6 ft and pretty big but I won’t always have friend nearby.
