Unless the girlfriend's father was acting in self-defense or defending someone else, he can be charged. Whether the charge would be attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and/or something else will be up to the prosecutor. You do not need to figure out the appropriate charge before calling the police. In fact, the sooner you report this attack the better.
Good luck to you and your brother.
