Assault is an intentional act or threat that instills fear of imminent physical harm in an individual. No actual touching need take place for an assault to occur. The threat alone is sufficient to be covered by personal injury laws.
A battery occurs if the person actually follows through and succeeds in physically harming the person he has threatened.
