On the side

The man stared at him on the side. He saw him in the corner of his eyes, but continued walking, ignoring him.


Is this grammatical?

It is not written in very natural English. The usual expression is " out of the corner of one's eye ", but this is hardly compatible with "stared". "stared on the side" is not a known expression.
