Guy in the West End approaching people with a camera

Has anyone encountered a guy in the west end come up to them demanding to know why they are filming them and their home? This happened to me today and I’m curious if this guy does this a lot or not.

Some guy stopped right in front of me on the sidewalk almost as if he was trying to block me from continuing, he freaked out at me saying that I walk by everyday recording him and his home. He had a camera pointed right at me and it seemed like he was looking for a big reaction. I tried to ignore him as much as possible but it caught me extremely off guard. He kept yelling as I walked past him. He made me feel very uneasy and a bit nervous to walk around that area in the future.

For context, In the past I have walked in that area a lot but haven’t in a long time, I would never bother filming someone or there home. No idea who this guy is or where he lives, and most importantly my camera was not on. I was just walking outside, with my headphones on after a very long day.
