Absolutely not, but there's a world of difference still.

  I get what you're saying... but back when I worked at a grocery store and called out a lazy stoner I worked with for being exceptionally slow and inefficient, he waited until I was alone in the stock room and held a knife to me and said if I ever did anything like that again, he would cut me. There was no physical harm, but I was shaken enough to quit on the spot when the manager told me he would not be fired. Here's why the difference gap is smaller than you think: I can never be un-scared from that event.

    That absolutely would be classed as a physical assault, not a psychological one, however, as I understand the law.
