Key Factors in New York Assault Charges
In New York, assault can be either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances of the alleged incident.
Factors that will affect your charges include:
- Whether a weapon was used
- Whether you have a criminal record
- The severity of the victim’s injury
- The identity of the victim
New York law recognizes different types of assault. Vehicular assault, for example, involves the use of a motor vehicle to cause injury. If the victim of the alleged incident was a family member or dating partner, it is considered domestic assault.
