Have I over reacted?

Went for dinner at a family members house tonight. I was having a heated discussion with the adult son of my family members partner. About control of women. The partner then asks me a question. I reply. He asks the same quesrion 3 more times and I give the same answer. He says I can't guve that answer. Family member says that I'm allowed to say that as it's my opinion. My dd then says " but (insert name) " and he turns on her. Telling her to shut up that she's not allowed an opinion. My dh, who had said nothing in the whole discussion, stood up and said "don't fucking talk to my dd like that "
Partner goes mental. Pushing and shoving dh. Then outs his hands around his neck. Pulls him on the floor and starts to kick him.
I grab the partner and try to pull him off. He turns and grabs me. Shoves my head off a door frame and bundles me on the floor.
Family member grabs him off me.
We get out kids and het out asap.
I have called the police to check in family member.
Have I done the right thing?

Gosh no you haven't overreacted at all that is dreadful.

What did the police say they would do? Has he been arrested?

Apparently as he is is no longer an immediate threat to us the police will invite him in for a voluntary interview. If he refuses then be will be arrested. They have now gone away from xmsd and will.be back next weekend. So the police will do it then.
Looks.loke my family member is condoning his behaviour so my relationship with her is now dead.
Dh and I now both have a number of bruises.
