So... "where you come from" what is the bar at which felony assault is justified?

  Well felony assault consists of intentionally causing severe bodily harm to someone or attacking an elderly person or child. A single blow to the face would generally not be felony assault. However, I would consider cornering me in a bathroom and sexually harassing me to be just cause for self defense.

    A quick Google search for "felony assault for punching" suggests your comment might be inaccurate.

    Without having to google, I can tell you that at what point something gets defined as a "felony" varies from one state to another. (I used to pay accident claims. Some policies specifically did not cover injuries that were incurred in the commission of a felony. I had to write a denial based on that clause. We first had to research if the event in qhestion was a felony in the state in question.)
