  Neither; by definition. Violence must involve physical force or action, or threat. Sometimes it can be extended to the realm of coercion without use of actual force, through threat of same. A fake bomb threat where there is no real physical danger, and that threat is not being used to coerce or compel someone, simply isn’t a violent act. You could make the argument that they are being coerced into leaving the building/stopping work, which would be a valid criticism of my viewpoint, but that is a stretch itself, on top of the already stretched definition of the term.
