Correct. Somehow the venue/host has to be vicariously liable for the actions that occurred.

Actually, what was described in the OP is battery. Battery is the offensive or harmful contact of another without his or her express or implied consent. If the suspect threatened battery (saying he was going to kick your a**), then you have assault.

Make this joker pay for your child's education!
