Issue
Bob committed the assault against Jack because he issued subtle threats to Jack in a metaphoric yet vindictive way.
Rule
According to the rule, an assault is “an intentional act causing a person reasonable apprehension or fear of an immediate harmful or offensive contact.” Without a doubt, one can see that Bob’s act towards Jack was deliberate and intimidating.
Analysis
Bob has committed an intentional act because he threatened Jack as they were coming out of the locker rooms. Battery conditions are considered valid when such utterances and deeds take place from the time of occurrence. Bob goes ahead and makes sure that his ill intentions affect Jack negatively. The hope that Jack breaks a leg shows anticipation and willingness on Bob’s side to see to it that Jack gets injured during the game. On the other hand, Jack had a reasonable apprehension or fear of an immediate harmful or offensive contact because he was aware that Bob belonged to a team that considered them nemeses. An apprehension panic attack is considered to be the immediate reaction from an individual that is ready to do anything in order to get a win back on track. As such, Jack had every reason to fear harmful or offensive contact from Bob.
Conclusion
Bob is liable for Assault because his vindictive statement was an indication and Jack had a reason to fear since Bob was an opponent and rival in the tournament.
