You, as an individual, can NOT under any circumstances,file charges against anyone!

If you were assaulted and are of the belief that they attempted to kill you, you must ASAP, report the incident to law enforcement who will investigate the circumstances and take action to arrest the subject(s) responsible. The case will then be presented to the state's attorney who will be responsible for prosecuting the individual(s).

The quicker you report the offense the faster the wheels of justice will spin. The longer you take to report it, the more doubt may be thrown on your story, and the opportunity for a successful arrest and prosecution will slip away.
