Yes, but the damages are questionable, as ice would not likely "burn your skin" or affect your throat and is not likely worth the effort. This also raises potentially controversial issues such as why you would "fall asleep" in a restaurant booth where pouring water on you did nothing to wake you. You can contact law enforcement if you like as this may about to a legal battery and there might be security video of the event.
