Assault with a deadly weapon? Yes. GBI? Yes.

Mayhem? Possibly, but I'd have to see all the reports and statements.

It sure could. Instead of debating the potential charges, the defendant better get counsel to defend against whatever is brought. If that is you, feel free to contact me for the legal help you are going to need. The victim will also be able to sue for monetary damages. .
