First, I'd try to find out what happened from the victim's perspective, your perspective and the perspective of any other witnesses (if any). The narrative in your question doesn't help out very much with that.
Such cases often result in such cross complaints. Sometimes through negotiations it can be arranged to get both dropped, depending on the circumstances. Feel free to contact me to discuss this if you wish.
