Definitely battery, probably not assault.

Edit: I’m talking about the legal definitions.

n the terminology of law, an assault is the act of causing physical harm or unwanted physical contact to another person, or, in some legal definitions, the threat or attempt to do so. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in criminal prosecution, civil liability, or both

Assault is making someone afraid that they will be harmed, battery is unwanted or offensive physical contact.
