    What Is Assault in Tennessee?

    In Tennessee, assault is the intentional or reckless use of physical force against another person. It can also be defined as the threat of violence or harm to a person as long as that threat is accompanied by an apparent ability to act upon it. Under Tennessee law, you could face assault charges without physically contacting the alleged victim.
