Once a complaint has been made and the police think there is case to answer it is passed on to the CPS. They will decide the severity of the attack to decide GBH or ABH.
I think first and formost that the accussed will be formally charged by the charge officer at the time at which ever police station he/she has been questioned at.he/she will then be bailed to appear at a mags court.its then up to the police officer to forward the charge sheet to the CPS
