Is a person who is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic dangerous?

Question:

This person has decided to try to 'kick my door in' on several occasions this week and I am worried that he may do harm to myself and family if he does manage to get through the door before the police arrive

Answers:
For every death by a paranoid schizophrenic, 700 people are killed on the roads!

Ring up the police, and say you are concerned about a neighbour threatening you. if they see him in the act, they can section him under a Section 136, and get him checked out.

Look up your local Community Mental Health Team - ring them, and ask to speak to the duty desk. He may be on their lists, so they will be able to look up the background information, and take action if necessary.

If you rent, speak to your landlord. If he rents, speak to his landlord.

But try not to worry!

I would say so if he is not taking his medication
