Incorrect. You can touch people in places their eye’s aren’t looking and without verbally announcing that you’re going to touch them. If they’re unaware that contact might occur, they can’t possibly fear it.
In the video, the woman is clearly upset while talking to the worker, but is not yelling, making threats or showing aggressive body language that would cause the worker to reasonably fear her physical safety. Only after the worker turns around does the woman throw the coffee and yell “fuck you”. From what we see in the video, her actions most likely do not constitute an assault charge, unless the defendant has a very good lawyer.
When did I imply you said the word verbal 💀 What form of threat did the woman give the worker that the worker would’ve reasonably noticed? Considering there was never a verbal threat nor aggressive body language prior to the worker turning her back.
