A more thorough explanation: Assault is a legal term that refers to the intentional act of causing someone to fear that they will be physically harmed. It does not necessarily involve physical contact, but rather the threat or attempt to cause harm. In legal terms, assault is often paired with battery, which involves actual physical contact or harm.
Example: The defendant was charged with assault after allegedly striking the victim with a baseball bat.
