Call the local police and file a report. They will determine whether to forward the information to the prosecutor or the commissioner, who will decide whether or not the case merits filing charges.

The simple answer is Yes, you can file assault charges for being pushed without your consent. I would call the police to make a report and go see the commissioner where you will fill out an application for statement of charges (which will be signed under oath). Remember, the other side can also seek charges, and, may be motivated to do so if you file charges against them. But, your question only asked if you could file, not, if it is the best course of action. That decision has a lot of factors. Good Luck !

Yes you can. Go to the police department and file a report. Do not call 911.
