I'd probably Tell him to watch where he's walking. Really, though, since I do watch where I'm walking, I wouldn't run into him. I'd move over and walk on. If he was looking at me, I'd nod a hello as I walked by.

So, I wouldn't know who he was, really, and I normally don't talk much to strangers when I'm walking.
