Two nights ago my older brother named David began following me from room to room. Each time I left a room, David followed me into the next room. He did not say anything during this time, but he appeared to be fuming mad. His behavior made me feel uncomfortable and concerned for my safety.
It sounds like you're experiencing a stressful situation. In New York, harassment can be addressed legally. If you feel threatened or unsafe, you might consider:

Is this a repeated behavior or a one-time incident?
David used to follow down the hallway as well
