I would put my conclusion down to a belief that I presumed that battery had to have a higher threshold than forcefully grabbing someone's wrist or grabbing the back of someone's neck. Like I said, I'm not a lawyer but, this seems to be an assault at least and perhaps assault and battery.

I would put my conclusion down to a belief that I presumed that battery had to have a higher threshold than forcefully grabbing someone's wrist or grabbing the back of someone's neck.

According to the link, "The main distinction between the two offenses is the existence or nonexistence of a touching or contact. While contact is an essential element of battery, there must be an absence of contact for assault. Sometimes assault is defined loosely to include battery."

Therefore, battery actually sounds like the correct charge.
