I was surrounded yesterday by a huge group of people. It went so far with them shoving phones in my face and then even pushing me into the guy that wanted to fight me. I did not want to fight but once he threw his punch I fought back. I body slammed the guy attacking me twice and his friend pulled me off of him and his sister punched me. The police showed up where it happened and talked to everyone. They told the police there was not a video but there infact is because I have it. I really just wanna know what type of charge could I get for something like this.
