Puppies resulted which were Shepherd and Corgi-plus puppies. Millie was incensed. She started a campaign to round up all of the stray dogs, including Casanova, and haul them off to the animal shelter. She picked up a few cats as well. She posted signs all over the neighborhood saying that no animal, neither dog, cat, nor fowl, should come into her yard and that she was going to begin shooting the next time, period. Understandably, Bernard and some of the other neighbors take offense. Bernard comes to Millie’s house while she is working in the yard. He walks behind her and shoves her. Millie did not see him coming. Millie turned around and proceeded to have a heated conversation with Bernard. Millie drew her fist back and told Bernard that she was going to punch him in the nose.

Sally, who was going by on the street, saw Millie attempting to hit Bernard. Sally came over and grabbed Millie’s hands, pinning Millie’s hands behind her back. Millie’s action in jabbing Bernard after she missed his nose, constitutes which of the following?
