It appears that he is threatening to tell people bad things about you, not physically attack you or anything like that. Arguably it's a threat to defame (slander) you. Could you sue him if he did? I probably wouldn't bother.
Why should you care if the police won't make a... Read more »

You mean sued successfully? Probably not. The prospective employer doesn't need any reason not to hire; employment is "at will" of the employer.
