Assault of any type is a criminal offense and you would start by reporting it to your local law enforcement agency.

Yes, a wife can sue her husband for assault in New York if she has been a victim of domestic violence or abuse. The wife can seek legal protection through a restraining order or file criminal charges against her husband for the assault. It is important to seek help from law enforcement and domestic violence support services in such situations.

Assault and Battery, is a felony offense and should be reported as immediately as possible, so that law enforcement can take action to investigate, identify and apprehend the offender. Unless the victim is medically incapacitated, the longer the complainant/victim waits to to report the offense, the more doubt and question can be introduced into the motive for delay on the part of the complainant. Massachusetts has a six year statute of limitations for most criminal charges.
File charges and have the assailant arrested.
