Assult is causing bodily harm.... in which the meaning of bodily harm included "any hurt or injury calculated to interfere with the health or comfort of the victim", so long as it was not trivial or insignificant. There was no need to cause physical pain to cause actual bodily harm.

So to answer question if the judge wants to push it then yes. There has been judges in the past constitute it as assult because the assulter is changing the physical apperance of the assultee. This is how this is true. Hope you havent cut anyones hairy who didnt want you to!
