I was recently socialising after work and my boss asked my co-worker to assault me.

They did.

This was very uncharacteristic from both the co-worker and my boss but it was an incident fueled by illegal substances (I don't have proof of this, but I saw at least the co-worker take drugs in the bathroom).

I lost a tooth in the attack and I never reported this to the police. I have since had the treatment and made a full recovery over the past weekend. The incident happened on Friday night.

I didn't have the confidence to go to work today, I also never rang and gave an explanation of why I didn't turn in.

What should I do?

What should I do?

You should maybe take an hour or so to get your version of events clear in your head so you know exactly what happened, then go straight to the police and file a report, clearly stating the facts, and leaving emotion out of it.

You should file the same version of events with HR, advise that you have filed a police report, and state that you won't be coming in until further notice as you no longer feel safe working with your boss and colleague.

You should also talk to a lawyer, who can best advise you on any claims you can make against the company or individuals responsible.

  fully agree - maybe you could add to your answer that it helps to write everything down/document in a memory/event-log. First it's always good to have a document, even it was himself that wrote it, second is that the whole thing manifests better in his memory for his future statement at the police department...
