What should I have done?
Called your parents, after leaving and staying somewhere else. As long as he's allowed to live in that house, the cops can't do anything without their consent. But your parents can remove that consent - but its up to them to do so.
My parents would have called the police instantly. My brother's pulled scissors on my dad, and beaten me before, and pulled knives on me too. He put a hole 3 feet tall in my door; my mom had to put
titanium over them so he couldn't do it again.
This isn't the first time this has happened; it just hasn't happened in quite a few years. The police know my brother--even one police officer, who came over so often that she'd ask about my cat that never comes around. She knows about my fucking CAT. I had a boyfriend for a year before he found out about my first cat! (I have two, one that's indoors and one that's outdoors).
