Sue him civily for assault and battery.

I think it depends very much on whether he wants to keep his job. Any of the available options, criminal prosecution for assault, civil suit for assault/battery or a workers compensation claim will require detailed, sworn documentation, all of which will comprise a permanent record. It might be difficult to stay on the job (if that is even an option) once any of these roads is taken. Best, M. E. Zuller
