I agree. He hit her hard enough with a baseball bat to the back to knock her down. Looks like assault to me.

I'll give him a pass on assault, I'll even admit he wasn't trying to hurt her. But I'm not giving him a pass on should have known better. Just because somebody doesn't mean to do any harm doesn't mean we shouldn't recognize the stupidity and potential harmfulness of the act. I'm sure that basketball player who killed his chaffuer a couple of years ago didn't mean to do any harm either, just playing around with a shotgun, did something a little stupid, but he didn't mean any harm.
