A man got up to 2 inches from your face and screamed and swore at you you felt threatened is this assault in Mass?
Yes, he invaded your "personal space" in (as you describe it) an apparent fit of uncontrollable rage - you would have been justified in pushing him away in order to regain your personal space and room to react to any possible physical assault. You would NOT have been justified in striking a blow at him however. But does it qualify as assault? And if someone presses charges for assault what is the usual outcome? Added: Only the police can "press charges" - if you (or the other party) report an assault to the police they will have to investigate and if 'probable cause' is found to bring the charge, they will either obtain a warrant or make a summary arrest. If yo ufeel that you were assaulted by this "screaming" episode, I would report the incident to the police and let them handle it from there.

Your elaborations on the question have been moved to the discussion section. You have not filed charges. You have filed a civil complaint for a protective order, and may have made a report to the police. Private individuals are not permitted to file criminal charges. Only the state, through the prosecuting attorney, can do this. If you have made a report to the police, you would need to follow up with the police to find out if the case has been referred to the local prosecutor. You would also want to follow up with the criminal prosecutor to determine if/when they will file criminal charges. If the prosecutor does opt to file criminal charges, and if the defendant is convicted, the punishment would be determined by the judge.
