What help do you want? We can't really make the decision for you. It's up to you.

once bitten, twice shy. of course you should press charges.

Press charges. Get a hepatitus test. Take a civil case if you don't get compensation.

OP , has any disciplinary action been taken against the male who bit you ?

Make a statement, the Garda will press charges.

Unless you like being bitten. Enough people come on boards saying cops are not doing anything about assaults help the cop out and get back to him ASAP.

I assume the male was a customer.

yes the male was a customer sorry i should have been a little more clear about that

Same thing happened to me at a bar while working. If it was me now I would press charges. Google a few cases and you will get a better idea but the offender shouldn't just get away with it.

Jesus OP , I presumed your reluctance to press charges was because this guy was a co-worker !!
Why would you not press charges ? Sounds like a thug.

Have him put down!

You have a responsibility to a civilised society to press charges. If you don't, then this dirtbag learns that he can assault whoever he likes without fear of legal reprisal.
