Or perhaps go straight to HR.

I now recall that years ago I had a colleague who kept making sarcastic and uncalled for comments to me. The reason was that in order for me to do my job correctly, I needed him and other people do theirs: fill out a particular report or provide particular something for someone. He wouldn’t. But just not not doing it wasn’t enough for him, he started making nasty comments to me every time he saw me randomly not even if I asked him to do anything. One day I stopped him in hallway and calmly asked if he has some type problem with me because if he does that’s fine, we can then schedule a meeting wuth adminisyration and address it ASAP. If you don’t have a particular issue with me then I need you to stop these comments and other hostile behaviors forward me right now”. He got all red in face. He was in absolute shock. And just kept repeating “no no I don’t have any problems with you.”

He never ever did or said anything questionable to me and was polite and civil with me until he retired few years back

You might try something like that
That's a useful anecdote Divine1966 - very specific and adapted to real life stupid behaviours. If there is a problem, own it and let's both take it to HR, if not STOP or you will be stopped. I'm going to use that in future.
