About Criminal Assault and Battery

Maryland law states that “assault” can indicate assault, battery, or the combination charge of assault and battery. While “assault” refers to the attempted touching of another person without their consent, “battery” is the actual touching of another without consent.

There are varying degrees with the assault and battery charge. For example, an “assault – reckless endangerment” charge may refer to erratic or dangerous behavior that resulted in an elevated risk of serious injury. A second-degree assault charge would indicate the victim suffered physical injury that caused impairment. At the other end of the spectrum is first-degree assault, a felony charge involving “serious physical injury” that is punishable by up to 25 years prison.
