Using thus

How do we use 'thus' in a sentence like this?

As the man began to thus disturb him, he turned away.
As the man began to disturb him thus, he turned away.

I am using 'thus' to mean 'in this manner.' Where in the sentence is it correct?

What manner is this? Surely the antecedent of this would need to be mentioned.
