Kicks or attempts to kick is a red card. The initial kick is difficult to picture, but the retaliation sounds a nailed on send off to me.
Red card for violent conduct. Kicks or attempts to kick a player. No debate about it, if it's as bad as you say.
Actually kicks or attempts to kick is a direct free kick offence. It is the nature of the kick/attempted kick (careless, reckless or excessive force) that determines the sanction.
