Usually a scared rooster is a respectful rooster, I would just not chase him, ignore him, and throw out treats like scratch or food scraps, eventually he will get used to you but don't expect him to be too friendly.
If your rooster is simply being unfriendly, he will get used to you over time. Respect him and he will respect you. But if he's the second type I described, you might want to start a program of calming him down and gaining his trust.
To do that you need to withhold his food and hand feed him. He will refuse to eat at first, but as he becomes more hungry, he will take bits from your hand. This training uses something he needs, and when he obtains it from your hands, he will become less fearful of you.
Eventually, you can begin to touch him as he eats from your hand, increasing that to stroking and at some point, you may be successful in being able to pick him up and hold him without him panicking.
