Sounds like he has social issues, doesn't know how to act around people. He doesn't naturally know what to do or how to interact around people. That may well be what this young man is dealing with.
I wouldn't judge him too harshly, it sounds like he just really wants a friend, and doesn't know how to go about making that happen. It's really not his fault, and showing compassion, even when his behavior makes you uncomfortable, would be a great thing.
But, this is just a guess. Even if I met him I wouldn't be able to diagnose what's going on. So my only real advice to you, if you're really uncomfortable, especially to the point where you run away and cower under your desk just to get away from him, is to talk to your principal or school counselor about this, and ask that they talk to him about his behavior.
