    Laws - View Law: FIGHTING AND ASSAULT

    An assault is committed any time a person knowingly causes physical injury to another person. It is also any time that someone may feel physically threatened or when someone touches someone else to provoke or insult them. (A.R.S. § 13-1203).

    Sometimes assault is classified as a misdemeanor. Aggravated assault is a felony. It is important to know this and to realize that fighting can be illegal. If you are involved in a fight, you could also be charged with disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace.

    A guy hit me in the face with his fist . Then he hit me in the chest with his other fist. I was backing up and defending myself to this point. However , then I took action ( self-defense) and cleaned his clock . I broke his nose and gave him a bloody lip. I was innoccent , since he drew FIRST BLOOD ( but I drew second blooc and a lot of it 2 ) ! Slvestor would be very proud of me !
