18 A.D.3d 363 (N.Y. App. Div. 2005)

Opinion

6153.

May 24, 2005.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Marilyn Shafer, J.), entered on or about April 5, 2004, which, insofar as appealed from, denied defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's causes of action for battery and assault, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

Before: Tom, J.P., Mazzarelli, Andrias, Friedman and Catterson, JJ., Concur.


Issues of fact exist as to whether the individual defendant touched plaintiff without her consent in a manner that was offensive and intended to arouse apprehension, rendering viable plaintiff's causes of action for battery ( see Messina v. Matarasso, 284 AD2d 32, 34-35) and assault ( see Trott v. Merit Dept. Store, 106 AD2d 158, 159).
