Am I in the wrong for yelling at this teen?

We were in the mall, me and my 5yo. We were in the food court and she was playing at the little playground they had. Then a group of boys with the youngest being around 14 and the oldest (i’m guessing) being around 17. came over, most of them were chill but a 15 yo kept pushing my kid and he seemed to enjoy it.

I quickly saw this and brought her away from them (it was time for her to eat anyway) AND HE FOLLOWED. He grabbed our food and threw it on the ground and stepped on it

Usually I would just leave, but something felt wrong, he enjoyed every part of this. Smiling and laughing at us. When I tried to reason with him his eyes were cold and had no emotion.

I’m just really shook and scared for my daughter as I have no idea why this happened and the motive

Did I do the right thing?

I’m just really shook and would love some advice as to what on earth happened and what you would do if this happened to your child.
