He spit at me....

[Chess Ref]

So he wasn't happy at a call I made. No big thing the usual SP crying and whining. The game ends,the teams are doing the post game handshake. I'm picking up the softballs and he calls me a son of a b@t%&.

So I eject and I start walking towards the scorekeeper and same player turns and attempts to spit on me. Wasn't even close. Short by 10 feet and wide right.

So I do the reports and we'll see what happens....Is attempted spitting on someone a crime ? I know spitting on someone is a crime,not that the DA would prosecute, but was wondering if the attempt would be considered some sort of assault ?

First time I've had something in the physical realm happen to me. Been cussed at and called every name in the book,thats old hat, but for someone to spit at me,well that was kinda strange......
