Not all criminal cases begin with an arrest. Certain cases are brought via a summons. The case is just as serious and the consequences are the same as if the case initiated via an arrest. Speak to a lawyer and take it seriously.

If the police or a complainant files for a criminal complaint, you can be invited to go to court.

If you have any questions, let me know.
