Original Note:
Assault does not require contact. It requires causing someone to fear imminent violence. The person arrested says, “If you touch me again…”: causing the officer to reasonably believe he’d be imminently attacked. The man therefore assaulted the officer and was lawfully arrested. https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/offences-against-person-incorporating-charging-standard
