I don't know that I'd agree that transients are usually harmless. I've had many students who've recounted stories of where they were personally robbed or assaulted by a transient, or witnessed the act.

Your first job is to avoid him if you can. Walk around and past him in your interview stance, giving him an authoritative "Sorry sir, I can't help you!" If he blocks your path, point two fingers at him (do not touch him) and yell "Get away from me!" and move away quickly. If you reasonably feel that he might assault you, or if he touches you in any way (we're assuming it's an unwanted touch), you might hit him with your OC. You DO carry OC, don't you? Then leave.
