OMG, yes, Call 911.

Does he have a doctor? Have you talked with doctor about his psychiatric issues?

Call the police next time he threatens you.

I’m so sorry you’re living like this. I agree with glad...call 911 immediately if you are afraid of him. If you have any firearms in the house please lock them away from him and let 911 and the police know so they can help you with that. Do you have any children or brothers who can come over when he gets nasty? Is a a daily/ nightly occurrence? Also call his doctor and report his behavior. If he’s on any behavior meds they may need to be adjusted. But the immediate issue is to get him into an emergency room thru 911. Then do not bring him home. They will help to find an appropriate living situation after he is stabilized.

Call 911 and have him taken to the hospital. Once there request psychiatric evaluation for meds that may help. Then state that he needs more assistance than you can provide. Refuse to take him home, do not waver. Social worker at the hospital will step in to find him a facility.
