what's "assult"?

That would be the one where they hurt you but didn't cause serious injuries. Its the last one punishable.The most that person can get is about 1 month in jail or less, and that person that was assaulted has the right to put a protection order on themselves.
I'm sorry it was 1 st degree assault so everything I said is like that times 2 so another words that person really hurt the other person maybe with a weapon, and they are going to be spending a lot of time in jail and a fine and maybe could be sued by the victim for damages.

It depends on which state each state has there own laws. Some states only have a misdemeanor or felony. One state a THIRD DEGREE ASSAULT is a Class 1 misdemeanor that is committed when a person knowingly or recklessly causes bodily injury to another or negligently causes injury to another with a deadly weapon. In another state it may be used for domestic violence. These laws are subject to change, before taking any advice check your state law.

That may vary slightly from State to State, so you would need to check YOUR State's laws. However, for an example, here is the definition from Minnesota:

"Third degree assault is charged when a person assaults another and inflicts substantial bodily harm or assaults a minor. This offense carries with it a penalty of imprisonment for not more than five years and payment of a fine of not more than $10,000.

Moreover, it is also a felony for anyone to assault a child under the age of four years old. The sentence for such an offense is imprisonment for not more than five years and payment of a fine of not more than $10,000."
