If the blow were to say break his nose that is serious bodily injury and now you are looking at a Class B felony, Assault 2. If the blow was still serious and resulted in bodily injury but not as serious as an Assault 1 or 2 then you have a Class C felony, assault 3.
To diagnose a broken nose, a doctor looks at and feels the bridge of the nose. Doctors sometimes need to push the broken pieces of bone back into place. The bones of the nose are broken more often than any other facial bone. When nasal bones break, the mucous membrane lining the nose can tear, resulting in a nosebleed. Commonly, the bridge of the nose is pushed to one side.
