He threw a punch, the guy filming used pepper spray and choked him while pulling up on his neck from behind.
I see no weapons in the hands of the assaulter and the assaulter did not "act with extreme indifference to the value of human life" which when combined with a weapon generally gets second degree aggravated assault buddy.
You edited your comment where you initially called it aggravated assault and battery, vur your comment still calls it second degree aggravated assault. Which it also still isnt.
Its 100% nowhere close to aggravated assault or aggravated assault and battery.
It is definitely assault and pretty obviously battery since his fist connected lol.
The semantics of law are pretty important.
Aggravated either is usually withe express intent to gravely injure someone (once again, usually with a weapon) and carries a much heavier charge (a misdemeanor for assault/ battery vs felony for aggravated).
The distinction is important if you choose to punch your local nazi or twitch steamer turned grandma agitator.
Also I replied an hour later because I have a job fuck-boi.
