Over a trivial argument with a neighbor yesterday, he threatened by saying that " I will kill you".
He said this multiple times, and was about to hit me. I retaliated by trying to dial the police number, which was the only reason that stopped him from hitting me.
Can I file a criminal case against him at the police station for this threat to kill me? Is threatening to kill someone, a criminal offence?
Please advice. Thanks.

YES, IT IS COVERED UNDER CRIMINAL INTIMIDATION, FIRST TRY TO RESPVE ISSUE BY SENDING A LEGAL NOTICE

Hi,
Threatening to kill someone is a serious crime and it is certainly cognizable.
You can directly file a complaint at the police station against the same and file case u.s. 506 of IPC.

Thanks for your responses. One issue that I see is that I don't have any proof - since it was just two of us when the argument took place in the basement late last night.
Will this be an issue? Or, does one need proof/witness to file a police complaint?

Though I support the views of Juryconcorporation,just an argument and a threat between 2 persons without valid evidence is no value in the eyes of law.
