Looking for a word to describe someone who is standing in front of me
...it is when a friend of mine decided to hit the person standing in front of him
I want to write a sentence like this but without using (if possible) 'the person standing in front of him'.
Is there any word to describe 'person who is right in front of me'?

Not clear what you mean. Are you facing this person or standing behind them?

How can he see your face if you're behind him? Is he looking over his shoulder? What do you mean by "in a way"?
