    Assault is generally defined as an intentional act that puts another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact. No physical injury is required, but the actor must have intended to cause a harmful or offensive contact with the victim and the victim must have thereby been put in immediate apprehension of such a contact.

    “Intention” in the context of assault, means that the act is not accidental, but motive is immaterial.

    It does not matter if the goal of the tortfeasor (assaulter) was merely to scare the victim or if the act was meant as a joke.

    The tortfeasor need not have intended for the contact to be harmful or offensive, only to have intended the actual contact.

    lol it’s a psychological disorder joke bro, it was defensive contact when I grabbed your giant hat off your fucking giant head, can’t you take a joke bro, you got anger issues bro
