Penal Code 245 A)(4) PC makes it a crime in California for a person to
- Commit an assault
- Do so using force that is likely to produce great bodily injury.
An assault is an unlawful attempt to commit a violent injury to someone. Great bodily injury is a significant injury, like a broken bone.
If charged as a misdemeanor, one can face imprisonment and a fine of up to $10,000. If charged as a felony, a person can face imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years.
