Legitimate reason as in “a man is in the range of visibility”?

A man, in a hoodie, that speeds up his step when they try to walk away from him faster, at 2am. Context matters a lot here.

It’s more than just “a man within range of vision”. Obviously we don’t have the full story here, but even in the text, there are specific behaviors that would, arguably, make a reasonable person suspect they were in danger. Depending on the state, that is enough to warrant self-defense definition.
