Cursing a mentally unstable person

He should have lost his job the moment he slapped someone. That's workplace violence.
What type of job is this? I know not every job has HR.

Even after he loses his job, he still has to be in society. I think it would be productive to get him the help he needs, but again this is not your duty or obligation. Your workplace has a duty and obligation to keep you safe and in a safe work environment.

Is a warehouse, they have a good and very responsible HR department, but the trouble there was that the guy who was slapped by this mental person slapped back so he also risked to get into trouble, I think this is why both of them chose not to report the event.

Mrs. Fancy,
Exactly. Life isn't so black and white. Maybe he's suffering and needs guidance. Nothing is more disheartening and discouraging to the human psyche than to be given up on and abandoned by society.

The most important part is that he hit someone and should be dealt with, and he has become dangerous to others. This is traumatic to those around him. He needs to be dealt with so that he cannot inflict harm on others.

And type of what work place is this that doesn't fire their employees after assaulting another person. :? This is important, and if they don't fire him I don't think you'd want to work in a place that doesn't protect their people.

I also wanted to add it's important to know that it's becoming clear that punitive measures do not help anyone but add more anger and confusion (especially for the mentally ill). See the U.S. prison system, all it does is turn people into hardened criminals. Even so, if they do not understand why they are being punished, then it is pointless to punish them IMO.

This is someone's life you're playing with. Before making any rash decisions try to handle it the best way. Remember they're still human beings too.

There was no action taken because nobody reported the incident. This is one example of deliberate physical attack so to say, because he felt like the other person provoked him by his attitude, otherwise he doesn't get physically violent (only verbally).

Is he really a danger? Responsibility to the responsible. Focus on your enemies, personal opinion.
I focus but in the same time I refuse to go to work everyday thinking that I might argue with him again because of some shit that he doesn't agree with. I noticed many times that he stick his nose everywhere and start teaching people his way of work (this is mainly because everybody avoids him) and is getting mad and start dropping and smashing things when somebody argue with him because he doesn't like when people confront or don't agree with him .
