And if you really told the young man that his life would be in danger if he came any closer, he could have called the police and they might have arrested you.

Re: hand gestures
I would not have told him his life is in danger if he comes any closer. That could easily be taken as a threat. "I WILL defend myself if you come any closer" is perfectly OK. But the other kind of statement is a "this is what I'm going to do TO YOU if you come closer," and I don't think that will fly.
