A. Assault Defined.
1. An assault is an intentional touching, striking or contact with another person that is harmful or offensive regardless of whether any physical injury is done to the person. A touching, striking or contact is offensive if the touching, striking or contact would offend an ordinary person who is not unduly sensitive.
2. An assault is also an act, with unlawful force, done with intent to inflict bodily injury upon another, intending, but failing to accomplish it, and accompanied with the apparent present ability to inflict the bodily injury if not prevented. It is not necessary that bodily injury be inflicted.
3. An assault is also an act, with unlawful force, done with the intent to create in another apprehension and fear of bodily injury, and which in fact creates in another a reasonable apprehension and imminent fear of bodily injury even though the actor did not actually intend to inflict bodily injury.
B. Exclusions and Defenses.
1. An act is not an assault if it is done with the consent of the person alleged to be assaulted.
2. Self defense shall be a complete defense to the charge of assault in the fourth degree, if the action was committed in self defense or defense of another; provided, that any such defense must be reasonable and necessary. (Ord. 3536 § 9, 2011).
