How is assault different from battery?

What will be an ideal response?


Assault is (1) the threat of immediate harm or offensive contact or (2) any action that arouses reasonable apprehension of imminent harm. Actual physical contact is unnecessary. Battery is unauthorized and harmful or offensive physical contact with another person that causes injury. Direct physical contact, such as intentionally hitting someone with a fist, is battery. Indirect physical contact between the victim and the perpetrator is also battery, as long as injury results.
