Reminds me of when I first got a part time job in Asda at 16. It was Xmas time and they had just had a delivery of Sharna toy pedal cars in. One was a rolls Royce.

The Boss wanted them hanging from the ceiling in the main aisle of the store. I got asked to do it. I was lifted up on a stacker truck to tie it up. I used thick twine and after a lot of sweat, tears and nerves got down.
The next morning, the boss didnt like it, so he got some other staff to do it, but using cat gut twine( like fishing line).. All went well for a few hours. The store went weirdly quiet in foreboding. There was a twanging noise, then another, then another and then all hell let loose.

A lady pensioner was found face first on the floor, with a bright yellow RR sitting on top of her! Medics arrived and she was checked out, but was ok, just shaken.

She didn't make a fuss and found it hilarious that she had been in a collision with a Rolls Royce ! lol

OP, if you are not badly injured, everything has sorted itself out, then just leave it alone. You don't know whether he was running to the aide of someone, chasing a shoplifter etc. He most likely didn't know he bumped into you. There are times to make a fuss, this , to me, is not one of them, you haven't received life altering injuries, just a bit sore.

What's OP?

Shoulder still sore?

Yeah It was minor but I did have to mention it to the company due to the way it was shockingly handled.

Whenever I hear about things like this I wonder about two things:

1. About 70 years ago your ancestors were being bombed and millions of people around the world were being killed in cold blood.

2. Whether the same thing may happen in the future.

It kinda comforts me in the knowledge that the worst worry we currently have is over an employee not giving a rats !!! about your hurt shoulder after bumping into someone Cushy life!

I blame professional footballers rolling around the turf when they've been tapped on the shoulder by someone's finger. That example is being seen by people as the norm for any incident.
