First file against the attacker. Second make a workers compensation claim if injured.

Have the co-worker arrested for assault. Then sue both the co-worker and your employer. They are liable for what their employees do at work. But, this will likely cause you to be discharged, which will be completely legal.

You have a criminal and potential civil case against your assailant. You may also have a compensation case. Consult an experienced comp lawyer.

You can obviously swear out a warrant for assault. If you have not, suggest you talk to your boss man about the person who assaulted you.

Call the police and report the incident to your supervisor. If you were injured you may have a worker's compensation claim against your employer and a tort (personal injury) claim against your co-worker.

Report it to HR and file a criminal report with the police. If you fear that it could happen again, you can get a restraining order against them.
