After three or four of us passed a man seated at the table with a woman, angrily jerked out a chair and blocked our little single file exodus. I pushed the chair back in and leaned over and quietly said in his ear. "That wasn't nice". and he pulled it out again almost hitting me with it and said loudly or yelled and waved his arms... I think he said. "I am trying to eat my breakfast", but others in the group said it wasn't that nice.
In my whole life this was a new experience.

Belligerance is an early symptom of Alzheimers Disease.
As another mentioned......be glad you don't have to live with him.
As the disease progresses, their personality may yet change again.
Often they become passive.............
..........however, belligerance does happen in the beginning...........
causing family members to wonder what is going on.
It's also common in dementia. Not all, but it does happen.
