Not necessarily, it may depend on WHAT type of assault you are referring to. You can commit an "assault" by utilizing or displaying a weapon that puts the victim in fear of their life or great bodily injury - and it is not necessary for you to "touch" them with it, simply placing them "in fear" suffices. However - in so-called "simple assault" (no weapon-just bodily contact; hands or fists, etc) an actual physical touching must occur. Although used quite often in the common vernacular, there really is no such thing as a "verbal assault" or "assault by intimidation."
