A: It is not too large but it would be better if you can present witnesses and pictures and medical records. Best of luck!!!
A: It’s still not too late to report it. Do you have any witnesses or any any bruising?? You should take pictures of your bruises.
A:
It's not too late. Whether the police take action is up to them.
If this happened at work, and you were injured, you have a workers compensation claim, and/or a personal injury claim. If this happened outside of work, then it would be a personal injury claim, but since assault is not generally covered by insurance, it would be hard to recover in a personal injury action.
