aggravated assault
Aggravated assault is a type of physical assault that is considered more severe due to factors such as the use of a weapon, the intent to commit another crime, the degree of injury caused to the victim, the threat of bodily harm or the perpetrator's status as a repeat offender. It is typically treated as a more serious offense and can result in more severe legal penalties. The exact definition and penalties can vary by jurisdiction.
