Hey, does this sound like rabies or did I just scare this raccoon? Should I call someone?

Sorry I couldn't get a photo, it was already very dark out when this occured. I couldn't get a good shot without approaching the raccoon and it looked pretty aggressive. I will try to be descriptive.

Ok so basically I live near Tampa Florida in an apartment complex near a park. Seeing raccoons here at night is common, but they're still usually very scared of me when I encounter one. Tonight I went out to retrieve a medication I left in my car. I wouldn't normally go out at 1 AM, but I really need this medicine. Anyways, there was a fairly small, skinny racoon with puffed up fur and a REALLY arched up back glaring at me in the empty parking space by my car. It seemed angry and aggressive in it's posture and had a confused wide eyes look on its face like it didn't quite understand. At first I thought it was a large cat, but when I saw it closer I realized it was sickly looking raccoon and backed away slowly. It did not lower its back, still just standing there. I tried to snap a pic while backing up, but couldn't get a clear one. I couldn't tell if it was drooling or foaming at the mouth and it wasn't making any noises at all. It was just standing there looking disoriented and angry.

So, I’m absolutely gutted! Sad, beyond hope. 😥

Found out today that it is ILLEGAL to keep a raccoon for a pet here in the U.K… and, that’s it, for I have no more words.
Except… any guys out there want to marry a 50 year old U.K. woman and give her raccoon babies and grow weed? 🙏🙏🥺
