What is the charge for someone who shoves another person without causing injury, but the act is deemed offensive?

In scenarios where one person shoves another without causing injury but the act is considered offensive, the charge typically falls under the classification of assault. In many jurisdictions, intentionally or knowingly causing physical contact with another person in an offensive manner constitutes assault, which can be categorized as a Class A misdemeanor.

Class A misdemeanors often involve conduct that is considered to be more severe than simple misdemeanors but does not rise to the level of a felony. Such acts might lead to penalties that can include jail time and fines, reflecting the seriousness of the aggressive behavior even if no physical injury occurs.

A Class C misdemeanor, on the other hand, usually covers less serious offenses and would not sufficiently capture the nature of the offensive shove. Felonies, specifically 2nd and 3rd-degree, typically require much more serious forms of harm or threat to public safety, thus are not applicable in a case of a shove without injury.
