Two things you can do: Press criminal charges. File a civil suit for assault & battery.
You can report it to the police - they may or may not arrest the person. You can also sue the person for pain and suffering and any unpaid medical expenses and lost wages. Whether it makes sense to sue depends on whether you can collect from the person. I am a former federal and State prosecutor and now handle personal injury cases to feel free to contact me to discuss your case.
Assuming you are the one who ended up in the hospital, you can sue him in civil court for damages, have him arrested or both.
