Definition of Assault and Battery. Noun. An unlawful physical attack, or threat of violence, on an individual, with or without actual injury. A crime in which there is actual touching or violence along with the intent to cause a person harm and/or fear.
Simple assault, usually charged as a misdemeanor, is the least serious form of assault. It involves minor injury or a limited threat of violence. In states where assault is a physical attack, pushing someone or slapping someone in an argument are instances of simple assault. Where the law defines assault as threatening behavior that puts another in fear, threatening to punch someone would be a simple assault.
