Speak to the police officer in charge of the case - he or she will have all the facts and will be able to advise you properly.

by what you have given, the s18 would probably stand. Whoever caused "a real possibility of loss of life" and "really serious harm". Backed by the notion that he had to be revived and would have passed away otherwise.

Sentencing is a impossible to predict as there are many mitigating factors to be taken into account. The maximum sentence is life

S18 is VERY likley to end with a custodial. The affray could go either way though.
