The short answer here is, if the owner knew of the propensity for violence and/or intimidation of this particular tenant, and took no steps to protect you (or the other tenants) from the possibility of violence, the owner could be liable.
However, the legal answer is never that simple. For example, you are the building manager, so arguably you would have been in a better position than the owner to have known about the tenant's violent tendencies.
Having said all that, the simple answer is to file charges and evict the guy.

If the owner has prior knowledge, he's on notice and he's liable.

You really need to rewrite this question and submit it again. As you can see, we're all confused.
