No, assaulting is illegal. This is considered a felony. For example, Assaulting a NYC transit employee/personnel is punishable by up to 7 years in prison.Another View: While assault is always unlawful it is NOT necessarily a felony offense.Simple Assault (using only fists or hands) is usually charged as a misdemeanor crime. It is only when you assault someone using a weapon (ANYTHING can be used as a "weapon") that it crosses the line into a felony offense.In the example gven above, the reason for the lengthy sentence is that the offense involves assaulting a PUBLIC OFFICIAL, which is ALWAYS an enhanced offense.
