Aggravated Assault Columbus Ga

Assault is an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact. It is an unlawful attack by one person upon another. An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury is an aggravated assault. The categories of Aggravated Assault include assaults or attempts to kill or murder;
poisoning; assault with a dangerous or deadly weapon; maiming; mayhem; assault with explosives; and assault with disease (as in cases when the offender is aware that he/she is infected with a deadly disease and deliberately attempts to inflict the disease by biting, spitting, etc.). All assaults by one person upon another with the intent to kill, maim, or inflict severe bodily injury with the use of any dangerous weapon are classified as Aggravated Assault. It is not necessary that injury result from an aggravated assault when a gun, knife, or other weapon that could cause serious personal injury is used. The application of force must be intentional.

Accidentally hitting someone during the course of an epileptic seizure, for example, would not constitute an assault. However accidentally hitting one person in an attempt to hit another is not a defense to assault. It does not matter who the intended victim is, as long the offender intended to apply force to any individual, it is still an assault.
