I'm in a bit of bother at the moment and I shall give you the entire truth without trying to gain any sympathy because what I did was inexcusable. And sorry to all the Americans out there, this relates to British law. Last Friday my girlfriend and I were invited to her brothers 19th birthday party, which we were both really looking forward too. We had a few things to do during the day so instead of turning up at three o'clock as planned we arrived around half seven and all the guests were already in a drunken state (one man in cowboy a hat throwing up in the toilet!). Anyway, it was about nine o'clock and I was attempting to mingle as the only knew a few people but then I heard a commotion outside the front door. I looked through and saw two men and three girls at the bottom of the stairs (indoors as this is a block of flats) with two chairs that I hadn't seen before. I asked where they came from and one girl was giggling about the fact that the two men had taken them from outside a ladies flat. The lady in question turned out to be a woman I had met earlier while smoking a cigarette, she was middle aged, podgy woman with glasses and maybe had learning difficulties as she acted a little off and couldn't converse properly. She came to the middle of the stairs where one of the men was holding one of her chairs near the bottom and took hold of the legs and tried to pull it away from him and said that she uses her chair to sit outside the door with her dog. The man refused to give her the chair and began pulling back so I spoke out and said that he should give her the chair back and after a bit more to and fro he let it go. She then came all the way down the stairs to get her other chair but the other man was sit in it and refused to get up but in a joking way and when he stood up to get out of the chair she picked it up but then the previous man grabbed the chair legs and shouted that she couldn't have it. She was pulling the chair away from him then he started angrily screaming that she couldn't have it and pulled the chair away even harder, I again said that he should give her the chair as it is her chair and he was getting a bit crazy. He let the chair go and turned his attention to me saying that I shouldn't have talked to him like that. I was a bit taken back as I felt he was clearly in the wrong and the woman would've certainly been scared by all this but he didn't see it that way and offered to fight me on the doorstep. I refused and said that I didn't want to fight him as he was drunk and would regret it in the morning. He shouted at me and offered me out once more so seeing the situation escalate I turned and walked back into the party without comment to him and sat on a sofa. I was very nervous as earlier in the day he had threatened a man in the street that has been giving one of his friends trouble and he seemed like he knew how to handle himself. As I was sat on the sofa he came into the living room and started shouting again that I shouldn't have talked to him like that and again said that he would **** me up if I talked to him like that again but again I said that I felt he over-reacted to the situation with the woman because of the alcohol. He then said that he was going to break every bone in my body but didn't make an attempt to do so but by this time I was filled with fear and anger so I took this as an act of aggression and launched into an attack on him, punching him many times. He then stood up and left the house after declaring that I would soon be a dead man. I apologised to all involved, especially my girlfriends brother as I ruined his party with my stupidity. The next day I was told that he had returned to the house with a group of boys looking to mess me up but I had already left. The whole situation has seriously messed up my mind as I am not that type of person to do something like that (the last time I threw a punch I was 15 and am now 24 and it wasn't a good one) and I didn't know what to do. Today I received a phone call from him (not sure how he got my number and address as I am not on any social networking sites) but he said that he wanted to fight me one on one or he would call the police. I know for a fact that the fight wouldn't be a one on one and also I truly believe what I did was wrong so I advised him to report me to the police to which he then said he was going to send people around my house to get me, so I called the police and reported the incident. I am now in two minds as I'm sure he is not telling the true story to his friends and family about what really happened that night and I am being painted as some sort evil villain. He did say that he has reported me to the police since but have had no contact from them and I have even confirmed that there is no complaint against me. I am thinking of handing myself in to the police just so I can get my day in court and let everyone in his circle know exa
Suggestion:
Edit 
I would like a responce please ^_^
I empathy you right now it's like i feel your fear =[ i know what it is like =[ i hope youl be okay in the long run 
Well a truthfull answear will get you a good answear now i aint calling you a liar but just to say i gave you an answear and it was not quite what you were looking fore.. thats because i'm basing it off the info youve given me.
So for your own sake i hope its correct.
Now you can call the police tell them exacly what happened.
And tell them he has threatened you a couple of times..
One thing i do not understand is why a MAN.. would offer a girl a FIGHT.. believe me it wouldnt go down in reputation for the male to hit a female and for a female to hit a male is usually weak manner.
He does however have 1 over you.. you see regardless of his threats.. you assualted him.. you can tell the courts you were underpressure he wouldnt go away and that you felt helpless and sort to violence as a last resort because you didnt know what he was going to do after his threats,
Now if you do have a case i surgest you ask the women with learning difficulties to help you.
I mean he stole a chair it's not what he stole it's the fact he stole.. prior to that if you had not interviend would the women come out hurt ?
so thier is alot to say about this really..
In a simple way: you can get into trouble for assualt.. He can possibly get into trouble for threatning and harrassment as you walked away from him and he came back..
If you did go out side and fought one and one and you got your head kicked in then he have nothing over you. What so ever !! because he would of been the one who assaulted ou and your bruises would clearly show this..
As for his Friends they arent in the picture but if any one of them bothers you, you can call the police, and it all be pin pointed to this guy you attacked because his mates wouldnt of bothered unless the man you attacked told them to because they didnt have a reason to do so.. Now what i don't understand, is why you did not appologise to this guy when he said you shouldnt talk to me like that.. a simple Sorry about that would of gone a long way even if you didnt mean it, it would shut him up.
