You (yourself) can NOT "press charges!" The only thing you can do is REPORT the assault to law enforcement and let them investigate the incident. If they find probable cause to arrest someone or apply for a warrant then THEY will approach the prosecutor who is the only one capable of filing charges.

Because of the circumstances you should report the offense as soon as possible so that police action can begin. The longer you wait the more difficult the crime will be to investigate and the more doubtful your story may become.

It depends on what state you live in. In some states it depends on what the assault consisted of (the 'seriousness' of the assault) - in others, ANY KIND of assault on an officer brings an automatic Felony charge.
