GBH is grievous bodily harm. So in this case no chance of getting the brother-in-law charged with that. Perhaps the nearest thing the police would charge him with, that of course of it is reported to the police, would I think be common assault.

you can't charge him with anything, that's the polices job. You should have called them at the time!
