Violent Conduct off the Ball

Here's a game-critical situation, a point where the AR must take action when she sees a critical incident, like violent conduct.

This one occurs 30 yards off the ball, after the ball as moved up field from the offside line. The RED attacker throws an elbow in the WHITE defender's throat. What's great is the fact the AR saw this incident. From his training and experience he knew to keep his eyes back on these two players, rather than to follow the ball up the field with the ball in play.

Take a look at the clip. What would be the restart, from where would it be taken?
