Section 20 wounding refers to a legal provision under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 in England and Wales. It involves the unlawful infliction of bodily harm or wounding on another person, which can occur either intentionally or recklessly. This offense carries a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment. The key distinction from more serious charges, such as Section 18, is that Section 20 does not require intent to cause serious injury.
