Section 265 of the Criminal Code deals with assault.
Under common law assault involved the apprehension of violence. This is not to be confused with battery which was actual physical contact with another individual. For example, when someone raises their hands in preparedness to strike, which you didn't consent to, and you believe they will, that would constitute assault.
However under the Code assault has been broadened to include actual physical contact as well as the threat of contact, whether directly or indirectly.
Note, a mistake in contact is not an assault.
Assault is a hybrid crime under the Code meaning it can be a summary or a indictable offense.
