Assault and battery are described under General Laws Chapter 265 as two separate — although similar — offenses.  An assault may be defined as an attempt or threat of violence against another person, usually with the actual or apparent ability to carry out the act.  Battery is defined as the act of violence itself.  Striking, hitting, touching, shoving or kicking another person may constitute battery.  Any form of harmful or offensive conduct may apply, even if it is targeted not at the alleged victim but at an object closely associated with the alleged victim such as his or her clothing.
