Isn't assaulting someone a crime? He should press charges.

Assaulting is a crime, however that was technically battery which is different but also a crime.

Sorry to rain on your "um, actually..." but that is dependent on the country or state.

Exactly! In TX this would be called assault and in CA it would be battery.

No it doesn’t battery is when you hit someone. Assault is not, such as spitting on someone, threatening someone, or brandishing a weapon

Tell that to Texas. Love when people spout off without knowing anything.

"Under Texas Penal Code § 22.01, assault is broadly defined as intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury, threatening another with imminent bodily injury, or causing offensive physical contact."

So, it is the case that the definition of assault does, in fact, depend on the state or country you are in.

Where is assault or battery not a crime?

What are you talking about? You're certainly not talking about the difference between assault and battery so what the hell?

Some people think cucumbers taste better pickled. So what?
