Used in a sentence like this -

> 
> Not to mention, the transit employee encroached the Mexican guy, as the Mexican guy is in retreat.
> 
> 
> 

Sounds wrong to me. But is encroaching strictly incorrect when used like this when referring directly to a person instead of their personal space, authority etc?
