• To throw an object towards a person, even if the object is not threatening (to throw a pencil)
• To have a threatening object in your hands during an argument, without necessarily touching the plaintiff (holding a knife in your hands during the dispute)
• To hit someone with an object (hitting someone with your phone, hitting someone with your car)
