[…] verbally abused, then physically assaulted […]

Agree, just a note: the verbal part was already assault. The physical part was battery, a separate offense that often isn’t required for a charge of simple assault. Any act that causes reasonable apprehension of harm is assault. Verbal threats with hate speech would easily qualify.

Info worth passing along I think, since many don’t realize physical contact is in fact the second criminal offense, and aggressive behavior itself is the first.
