<p>Hey there, I’m doing my homework on the 3 types of torts and I was wondering if any of you out there are able to help me identify the tort (if any) for this senario below:</p>
<p>During dinner, Billy’s cousin Walter tells Billy he has Cooties. Billy becomes upset and raises his drumsticks threatening Walter. Walter begins to cry.</p>
<p>Is this an intentional tort on Billy’s behalf? Is it also an assault because Billy intentionally raised his drumsticks to threaten Walter, Walter was put in immediate danger, but a contact never occured?</p>
<p>Thank you for your help!</p>
