There is a charge of "battery of an insulting or provoking nature". This is used when there is no physical injury but there was physical contact used to annoy or harass the victim. Kinda like poking, pinching, spitting, etc etc. It could also be charged as disorderly conduct or simple battery. Let the jackass neighbor explain to a judge why he thought it was a good idea to hose down your bro because his dog was barking.
