Malicious Communications Act 1988

Police would investigate this & submit a file to the Crown Prosecution Service, who decide on charging, & they prosecute in court.
However, Police have the option for certain offences of using a penalty notice for disorder (PND). - thats an £80 ticket, identical in most respects to a speeding ticket (no you wont get points on your licence!). The nearest offence allowing the use of PND to your question would be 'Using a public electronic communications network in order to cause annoyance inconvenience or needless anxiety' (Communications Act 2003). Theoretically, any person can bring a prosecution to court, but the costs involved in private prosecution usually preclude this

It all depends on which part of the Act the offence is covered by.
Please be more specific.
