Will the police go to the suspects house or will they wait for the suspect to be reported again?

As long as the victim could positively ID the subjects involved... our agency would bring in the suspects. Interrogate them. Take a statement and refer it to the States Attorney's office for approved charges. If charges are approved, which they usually are, they get arrested and processed.
Bond is then set. The amount depends on the crime and their criminal record. If they can't post bond they get sent to bond court which is usually the following day. The judge then determines to remand them or release them on a recognizance bond. That’s just for starters….

Depending upon what type of officer takes the initial report. Some agencies (smaller departments) allow an officer to investigate an offense as far as the officer can go.
Most agencies, however, have the patrol officer take the initial report at which time the report will be forwarded to a detective or investigator who normally has more training, experience, and ability to handle the complaint.
The detective will attempt to find all the evidence including contact with a suspect.
Once all the evidence is collected the case will be forwarded to the courts via the District Attorneys Office.
Best wishes.

If the cops are any good they should go to the suspects house. If there is a report then it needs to be followed up and verified. The suspect can even be brought in for questioning if the assailant is pressing charges and if the assult was sever enough. A crime has been commited and the judgement needs to be passed.

It depends.
It depends on the seriousness of the assault, the amount of evidence, the size and resources of the agency, etc.
In a typical misdemeanor assault - actually, it's a battery in my state if someone hits someone else - the officers will get your statement, the other guy's statement, statements of any witnesses, gather evidence (rarely is there evidence in this kind of battery) and forward the matter to the DA. If the suspect is on scene, you would be given the option of a private person's arrest (aka citizen's arrest). The DA ultimately decides if there is enough to go to trial.
In a felony battery the investigation may be more involved.
In general the specifics will vary by state, by agency, and by offense.
