Ignore the honking is good advice.
Report the guy 2 ft off your back wheel following your evasive maneuvers is good advice, too.
Remember that to the kind of guy who starts this then takes the bird as an escalation, the logical leap from "oh my gosh there are uniformed officers on my front steps" to "time to back off and go away" may be a bit more circuitous than you'd hope. Report it, carry through, but don't be oblivious.
