What to do if You or a Loved One is Charged With Assault or Battery?
What is Assault and Battery?
Assault and battery are two separate criminal acts that often occur together. Assault is a threat of bodily harm, whether verbal or physical and raising a baseball bat or knife is a verbal threat or gesture like pointing a gun at someone.
A threat must cause apprehension to the victim that signifies it as assault. The person making a threat must do something reckless that makes any reasonable person feel threatened with bodily harm. On the other hand, the battery is the act of intentional or offensive physical contact.
Battery follows assault, and as such, threatening to punch and then to punch someone comes in the category of assault and battery.
