I don't think he needs punishment. Threatening him or beating him up isnt going to help at all, even if its from someone he loves and respects. If thats how you do it then that poor girl might end up in a hospital next time. I don't understand why some seem to think you can teach someone respect by beating them up, isn't that what caused the reason to beat them up in the first place?
The older brother or sister should sit down and talk with him without threats and warnings, like an equal, who knows, maybe he has something to say. Try to show him that his opinions do matter to you. I don't think he's going to accept going to a councellor, but maybe a mentor would work? I would recommend a hobby (martial arts would do), just somewhere he can direct his extra energy.
Just remeber to treat him like an equal!
