Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Battery is the intentional harmful or offensive touching of another person without their consent. Bacho intentionally broke a bottle on Flacco's head, causing harm, therefore Flacco can sue Bacho for battery. Assault (threatening to harm someone) may also apply, but since Bacho actually carried out the act of harming Flacco, battery is the more appropriate choice. Public nuisance does not apply as this is not a case of disturbing public order.
