Page "Assault" Paragraph 17
from
Wikipedia
Assault is an offence under s. 266 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
Similar to the United States, there is a wide range of the type of Assault that can occur.
Generally, an assault occurs when a person directly or indirectly applies force intentionally to another person without their consent.
It can also occur when a person attempts to apply such force, or threatens to do so, without the consent of the other person.
An injury need not occur for an assault to be committed, but the force used in the assault must be offensive in nature with an intention to apply force.
It can be an assault to “ tap ”, “ pinch ”, “ push ”, or direct another such minor action toward another, but an accidental application of force is not an assault.
