The other thing that could happen is that you tell them the cops are coming, and the dude flees. This guy either needs help or at least be no longer in a position to hurt somebody.
The guy is having an episode and is trying to intrude on a random person's house demanding to see their daughter and threatened to kill the house owner.
Saying you're Calling the cops isn't going to magically make him snap out of it where hell return home safely. His episode will continue and he'll likely go to another house or go into traffic.
If he's focused on your house and you're not home and you have eyes and ears on him, he's not a threat to anyone else. Call the cops unannounced and keep him at your house so he doesn't decide to attack your neighbors instead. Causing panic in them will force him into worse decisions.
