Should I report my coworker?

Today, I went to work and had a difficult experience with a coworker. Upon arriving, my coworker looked me up and down and said, 'what are you even doing here?' I responded, 'oh, I’m filling in for such and such.' My coworker scuffed and responded, 'no one ever tells me anything.' Later, while completing my work, I had to use the restroom due to stomach pain and ended up vomiting. I also had food stuck in my braces that I needed to remove. While texting my mother about how I was feeling, my coworker interrupted and questioned my whereabouts. She said, 'what are you even doing?' I replied that I was in the bathroom. She starts screaming 'you were just in there,' and rolled her eyes. I basically just walked away from her to avoid any confrontation. A few customers heard what she said and they started to look at me. Just some context, my coworker has a history of violence, including bragging about punching her ex-boyfriend, and has been fired from a job before. Despite her behavior, I walked away from the situation to avoid further conflict. However, this interaction triggered my PTSD, causing physical symptoms such as twitching in my left eye, difficulty breathing, and a feeling of knots in my stomach and light-headedness. Even five hours later, my left eye still can’t stop twitching.
