I’m in this situation myself. I just explained in a long email when and how she physically attacked me, I explained why I don’t feel safe around her and wrote that I won’t be working with her anymore, simply to protect myself.
HR still hasn’t answered my last email and I have no idea how they are going to react.
If this ever happened to you, what was the outcome?

Like physically attacked or like sexual harassment?
i got a restraining order on her and the court forced my workplace to separate us
File a police report. She’ll be fired.
Oh hey I remember your asking about this situation before. Good to see you took action and reported it to HR. Now I wonder if there will be a 3rd update lol
Nothing. I got laughed at.
You need to have a meeting with your direct manager as well. They will likely have the ear of HR as well. This shouldnt be tolerated on any level bc if it was the reverse your ass would be locked up quick. Be safe
She got dismissed and there were ongoing police investigations as CCTV back up the claim.
I got told it was nothing, then she tried to fire me (unsuccessfully), and eventually I got transferred to another location.
Nothing physical but I did once report an opposite-sex colleague for verbal harassment/inappropriate sexual comments.
afaik not much came of it and that person still has a job.
If you can prove it then they’ll likely remove the person
File a police report, get it documented outside of the work place
No & No
I wasn’t taken seriously.
Given that HR departments are all women and that women will virtually always take the side of another woman against a man, no matter who is at fault, I’d imagine its unlikely you will be treated fairly.
