To think running at someone and causing a finger injury

[360whatdoyoumeab]

Is still assault even if you were trying to get a item off the person rather than planning to assault them

Whose item is it and who are the people involved?

Oh and how aggressive were they?

Depend if the item was legally theirs or not to me

Need a lot more context - this could describe a mugging, a play on the rugby field or any number of other scenarios!

A full description is needed with context, actions and intentions

There is so little information that is sound too vague to guess

“Still assault”?! Why would it be assault at all?

surely the only people’s opinion that matters for this question is the CPS?

You are being unreasonable for not giving any context or relevant information and expecting everyone to say you are not being unreasonable!

Don't know. If you were clinging onto something that belongs to your husband and he wrenched it off you then you are bad as each other. For example.

Could also be the context of “I was only trying to take their phone/wallet/watch.. didn’t mean to harm them”

Was it a dog?

Try adding some actual detail and then people might be able to comment with some degree of accuracy.

‘Running at’ someone seems different to ‘trying to get an item off’ someone, since the latter implies use of hands. Please explain.

Was it your partner snatching your phone off you? Or had you got his phone and he wanted it back, but you refused to hand it over? Or a teenager wanting a phone you had removed?

What preceded the 'running at' and the accidental injury? Context is needed.

Really? Another thread from you with an annoyingly short OP that lacks all information? That’s two in 24 hours and you never responded in your last thread.

No idea what happened so it's impossible to say.

Well if you were holding a gun & armed police ran at you to get the gun off you & injured your finger in the process then no, that wouldn't be assault.

Or were you shoplifting & the staff tried to stop you, you refused to give back the items so they tried to grab them from you & now you want to sue as you hurt your finger.

Or has your DH assaulted you & now he's sobered up & 'sorry' he's trying to make excuses.

Context is everything OP. Nobody can give you meaningful advice based on what you've posted.

Im annoyed now that I responded 😤

Was this on the pitch during a rugby International?
If so, yes. Serious assault, and you should summon the police (and the local council noise abatement bods) without delay.

As a general rule though, running at people isn’t advised; and especially not in Marks’ on Boxing Day.

.

‘That finger is a paw, ma’am.’

Ridiculous lack of information OP.

Oh FFS I didn't know this.

I do wish MNHQ would ban these people or BOTS or whatever they are.

Either way they bring nothing to the forum.

As I was reading the OP I was trying to work out why it was familiar. You've solved it, thanks!

Maybe try finding a hobby next year OP.

Well this is a very late entry, but prime contender, for 'Vaguest Post of 2025' award.

I love all these threads with no context whatsoever buy expecting a direct response 😂

If somebody did that to you, yes, you were assaulted by them.

Are you safe now? Or are you being gaslighted into thinking that you deserved it?
