The simple answer is yes. If it was actually an assault, the person that did it can be jailed.

A little clarification:

An assault is anytime a person intentionally touches you in an unwanted way.

If you were laying on the floor when someone was carrying on the groceries, and they accidentally stepped on your hand, it may have hurt and made you mad, but it wasn't an assault.

If you were laying in the floor, and someone thought it would be funny to come try to step on your hand, it would be an assault. There are many ways in which you can be assaulted. This is just an example of one.

If someone assaulted you, and you wish to press charges, you need to contact your local law enforcement agency, or the agency where the assault occurred if it was different. Policies on how an agency takes a report can vary per district, but they can direct you to the correct place.

Can you break his fingers if you sneeze?

No, sneezing cannot physically break someone's fingers. Sneezing is a bodily reflex that expels air and particles from the nose and mouth, but it does not generate the force necessary to cause injury to bones or joints. Breaking fingers typically requires a significant amount of force or impact, which a sneeze does not provide.
