/Attempted/ assault? Sounds like he succeeded.

Succeeded all too well. Shouldn't "battery" be in there somewhere, too?

"Battery" doesn't appear in the Oregon criminal code. There's just
"assault" in various degrees.

"Assault and battery" is a civil tort but not a criminal offense under
the criminal code.

Peace and justice,
