IMHO, I think you should just treat it like another houseguest. I don't particularly agree with most ideas posted here. Don't demonize this thing, just set down the rules of the house. If it throws something again, be stern (not angry or overly emotional in any sense). Tell it you don't like that. Tell it you don't like it when it hurts you, and let it be expressed that it is free to live with you, come and go, but it should in no way harm or scare anyone in the house.
I know you may feel a bit wierd apparently talking to 'yourself', but remember that is from an outsider's view. In reality, just talk to the thing. Honestly, I think it will respond back. You can ask it why it throws things or hurts you. It WILL tell you, as long as you communicate. From my own experiences, it seems that most ghosts/poltergeists, etc. just want to be known and heard. He may even have a good story to tell you!
Don't provoke it, and don't threaten it. Just make it clear that if it doesn't act in a civil manner that you will ask it to leave. If you treat it as an equal, it should chill out alot and start treating you the same.
EDIT TO ADD: Basically look at it this way... if you act like prey, a predator is probably gonna try to go after you. It's kind of like dealing with dogs, in a way. Although, I wouldn't recommend provoking it in any way... just don't act like 'prey' (in a sense). Treat it as if it were an equal. That will get it to reveal it's true intentions.

I agree with your post.
It is known that such creatures have been 'employed' in the past to do chores around the house or do harm to others. Some other types of Jinns have the ability of great speed and strength and they were once used long ago to help build many of buildings of the past (namely, solomon's temple, baalbek, pyramids, aztec pyramids etc.)
You last point is extremely important - don't show or even feel that you are afraid otherwise you're in trouble. That's why I said "Kick it's butt" so you have that "positive energy" without fear. But I agree, try to reason, tame and if you can do that it is a great opportunity to try to 'employ'.
Current activities of employing such creatures are done via "black magic" or conjuring (that typically involves about 40 days of some difficult act).
If it is an evil jinn they will ask for you to sin as payment for their services. If they are ok jinn then I'm not too sure what they want.
Be careful. Know what you are doing. There may be more than one!
Good luck.
P.S. Is should also add that they are similar to humans in terms of behaviour but are instinctively evil. Typically.
P.P.S (IMPORTANT) These things can shapeshift into various objects and animals. You may have accidently hurt it in some way which is why it is bothering you. This has happened in the past and is a common reason for encountering such creatures.
