What is an Assault?

1. A “simple” assault occurs if the assault did not result in any physical harm or injury.   You are accused of simply threatening someone or touching the victim in a way that they considered to be offensive or provocative.
2. An assault is an offense that causes bodily injury. If pain is felt by the victim this is an assault.
3. An aggravated assault occurs when the victim suffers severe bodily harm or injury and/or a deadly weapon was used or shown during the commission of the assault.
