I used to create training for the coppers in the UK at the police training college in Hendon; criminal damge, PACE, misuse of drugs, etc
it was a few years ago now but I probably know far more than the layman. The statutes tend not to go into exhaustive definitions, e.g. "Spitting is but licking is not within the definition, unless it's on the eyeball", but instead rely on case law (unlike Frog law). It would take the CPS a few minutes of tapping to look at relevant precendent in GBH and Haircutting before deciding to proceed, if indeed the news report was accurate about the charge
