Menacing landlord

What should I do if my landlord threatens with menace?  Who do I talk to?

I have a room for rent in a house with one other roommate, and I got a crazy landlord, who also lives there, who is an out of control alcoholic.  I made a comment asking if the washing machine is fixed or replaced, and he starts yelling at me, and I thought he was about to attack me.  Obviously, the best course of action is to leave, but for future reference, who do I talk to about a menacing landlord?  Behavior towards tenants like that is illegal.

The police Brandon,you call the police.If your life has been threatened with bodily injury by another person you call the police for help.If you come home and find your stuff all over the front yard and your doors locked and unable to access the property,you have been illegally evicted and you need to call the police and report what happened and get a police report on whatever items are missing and have been stolen.This is a civil matter and you will call a lawyer and sue them in court.
