I would expect the rooster of the op to be come more and more violent, and there is a good chance he will eventually attack even your husband. Generally they attack children first, then women, and then men.
I am more of the camp, of hands off, and I have had much better luck raising roosters in a multigenerational flock, where older hens thump some manners into them. But I strongly agree with the above poster that says it is really the luck of the draw.
The chick you loved is gone, and I am betting you have been damn good to your birds, I would recommend culling him. If you have children, or if you have anyone else that visits the chickens, I strongly recommend you let him go.
Most people vastly underestimate the violence of a rooster attack. He knocked your glasses off, could have scratched your face or eyes. No rooster is worth it in my opinion. Roosters have ruined the whole chicken experience for a lot of people.
