From your other thread, you say that you are located in New York.

Did you report the incident to your local police? Has the “trespassing man” been identified?

If you were injured, you can make a workers' comp claim. That is your exclusive remedy against your employer.

For property damage, you potentially can sue the trespasser who damaged your phone.

“Insults” generally are not compensable.
