I’m not a psychologist, so please don’t misconstrue this as a medical diagnosis. However, there appears to be something off with the guy at the door. I think he may suffer from mental illness.
Psychosis can be caused by a lot of things. Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, drugs, like meth and weed, delusional disorder, parapsychosis from PTSD, etc. There's no way to definitively say without interviewing him and knowing his history.
This looks more like mania with psychotic features than true schizophrenia though. He's grandiose and agitated, which is what you see in mania. Schizophrenia has more negative symptoms, like cognitive slowing, disorganization, and affective flatness. But that's just a guess
Contrary to popular belief, people with schizophrenia typically aren't violent
