Yes, that is the kind of behavior you can report. Don't worry about "tattling." What he's doing is much worse.
If you feel up to confronting him yourself, you could just react the next time he does it, like yell or something. That should draw attention that there's a problem, so someone in authority might help out. And then tell him that you don't like it and it hurts.
Even if he starts up again, you will be able to get him to stop as long as you keep talking to teachers.
