Assault or Battery

In Virginia, if a person intentionally and willfully touches another person in an angry, rude, insulting, or vengeful manner, he may be charged with battery. If a person attempts or threatens with force and violence to harm or hurt another person, even if he never touches that other person, he may be charged with assault. Someone who puts another person in fear of being hurt and then strikes or touches them may be charged with assault and battery.

Some examples of actions that may cause an assault and battery charge to be filed are punching, kicking, or spitting.
