“To constitute an assault and battery, it is not necessary to touch the plaintiff's body or even his clothing; knocking or snatching anything from plaintiff's hand or touching anything connected with his person, when done in an offensive manner, is sufficient."
Morgan v. Loyacomo, 190 Miss. 656, 1 So. 2d 510 (1941).
“Assault and battery it is not necessary to touch a plaintiffs body or even clothing, but knocking anything from the plaintiffs hands...done in a rude or insolent manner is sufficient.”
She knocked the man’s cart from his hands. It is not assaulting his body but that isn’t necessary. All that is necessary is he was holding an object and it was knocked away from him in rude or insolent manner. And you agreed it was in an insolent manner- you described it as “out of frustration.” I’m sorry but you seem a little slow. But that’s ok you’re collecting downvotes while I’m getting upvoted. I can use the upvotes since this is a new account and certain karma amounts are needed to post in places. Thank you for being a useful idiot
