No, actually assault is the placing in fear of unwanted touching or application of force. Battery is when you touch someone unlawfully. Also disorderly conduct.
But if you'd like to try it sometime, I am sure there are some people who will take care of it without the need of the court system to intervene.
By the way, is your life insurance up to date?

Yes, it certainly constitutes assault. In addition to a criminal sanction, my guess is that before imposing such a sanction psychiatric reports would be called for by the magistrates given that the victim is a total stranger. I don't imagine that the perpetrator would get off scot-free, nor should they.
Best wishes, J

Live and let live, I am sure YOU do something to annoy him too!! That's the trouble with this world!! We always want it OUR way, We don't seem to be able to meet other people half way!! If you want to start a war, throw that bucket of water at him, two wrongs don't make a right, and guess who will go the jail!! You are worried about odors, WOW! wait until you are arrested and thrown into jail!!

Yes because once again it meets the elements of the crime:
A person commits an assault when, without lawful authority, he engages in conduct which places another in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery.

If I come up to you and throw a bucket of water all over you, are you trying to tell me that there is some doubt over whether you will feel assaulted or not? Hello. . .

Why do you think that sterilized water would be welcomed. Throwing anything on another person is considered assault.

narrowly defined "assault" is a "placing in fear of imminent bodily injury"- so, could the sterilized water constitute this, yes.
a more appropriate charge may be disorderly conduct

I guess so. Would you like to have sterilized water thrown over you at any time? I don't think so.
