Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

I was attacked in my unit by a handyman the property management company sent. What would be the appropriate action to take?

The handyman and I had a disagreement over how he was doing the repairs in my unit. When I told him to "just do the job and shut up", he got in my face and push me several times to get me to take back what I said. When I wouldn't, he shove me to the ground and dragged me through the hallway into the kitchen, ripping my shirt in the process. My mother came out of the room to break us up. I told him to get out but he pushed me out of the way(again!), grabbed his tools and left. He then tried to get back in because he said he left his keys so I called the police. I cracked the door to tell him the police are coming and he just barged into the unit, now with the passenger in his car. Eventually they realized they had the keys the whole time and left before the police got there.

I have pictures and police report of the incident.
