bakayarou should suffice, but depending on your accent it might have the
opposite of the intended effect (intimidation I guess?)
I always just smile and say sumimasen, myself. Although to be honest, when
people bump into me they tend to kind of bounce off. No idea what size you
are, but if I were smaller and more frequently in large crowds, I might get
upset at all the jostling.
