What would you do, if your daughter called you and had said, "Mama, some man just grab me by the throat and started strangling me?

My daughter volunteers/works for the Muai
Humane Society as an adoption ????. She was in the (it’s like an EXTREMELY large van. A man in his sixties entered the vehicle told her, he liked cats, that had one and that his neighbor had strangled it! This man grabbed her around her neck picked her about a foot and a half off the ground.Struggling for about a minute an a half, her body tingling and could no longer see, kick and connected, he dropped her. The man walked out of the vehicle. Someone eventually walked out saw her lying on the ground and came to her aid.
The man was found walking. After tsing the police she wanted to press charges against him. The police have tried to talk her out of pressing charged. What should she do?
