Each state has a different statute and time limit so it would help to know what kind of a report was filed and the charges. Assault covers many different actions .Also a phone call to your district attorney can give you the answer

relies upon on the state, however the final statute of limitations is approximately 2 years. If there are witnesses who've heard him testify on the priority, you may record for a restraining order and attempt to press rates. If criminal rates do no longer paintings, you may record a civil lawsuit for attack and attempt to get some money out of him.

If the statute of limitations has not ran out, then yes.
For smaller offense, which I think assault is, there are statutes of limitation but you'll have to check to see what they are.
