Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee

simple assault with falsified police report

i have a friend that was assaulted by another friend of our's, the victim didn't give a statement with the cops but the other guy did along with his g/f and both lied about what had happened. My friend ended up having to get 15 stitches around eye and has to have reconstructive surgery to fix the damage, this happened last friday morning, since then my friend has been trying to press charges and file a law suit against him but the police report is preventing him from getting a warrant issued. His employer has sent him home for being a liability to the company and is considering firing him for lack of dependability due to the surgery he must undergo, what needs to happen next? and the victim went on tuesday to have the police report amended but the police refused and did nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
