My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York

So I was hanging out in the city and I stupidly thought it would be a good idea to pull a prank on people using my cellphone. So what I did was when someone put their cellphone on those new garbage cans with the smooth solar panel top and I swapped my phone with theirs (indiana jones - replacing sand for the golden statue) (boy i am so dumb). (i was going to do this with waterbottles first - to swap drinks, but i chickened out with a worse decision, a phone). (this wasn't really planned out. I was just really bored) so i do it to some guy and he obviously is really pissed and accuses me of stealing his cellphone. he shoves me and threatens to call the cops. he follows me and takes a picture of my license plate with some "good samaritan". he's calling the cops describing me and i decide to flee because his friend has a bat and that it wasn't such a "big deal". so am i in danger of cops coming in to raid my house now? should i just turn myself into the local police station? i really swear on my mother it was all a prank and i didn't mean to steal his phone. why would i put my own phone (a galaxy s7) to replace it? How do I explain this to the cops?

please I'm so nervous right now I don't know what to do! I can't really sleep and it's something that could have been easily avoided. Oh god help me. Damn I'm such an idiot.

If you gave him the phone back then the charges can be bypassed, but if you have it when the police arrive. You could risk getting community service or house arrest

Well his friend threatened you with a bat, don't know how it works in americaland but here is kind of a bad thing to do, especially if you are completely harmless

Phone your phone.

"Please believe me. What happened was a stupid impulse of a moment and not the real me. Can we meet someplace public where I can give you back your phone and apologize in person?"

Give the phone back anonymously to save being punched (which you shouldn't be anyway imo). Don't hand yourself in yet, you were stupid try to do the right thing and forget about it.

It would technically be "assault" if he was threatened. Indeed, in burgerland that could play a part in the case. Especially in a state like NY
