Yesterday, a small argument with my neighbour escalated quickly. He misinterpreted my body language and stormed out, threatening me, though not seriously. We ended up in a scuffle, which thankfully was broken up by onlookers. We both sustained minor injuries, but are fine. I’m worried if either of us could face legal repercussions. I’m a student and exams are coming up, so this is causing me stress. He’s probably worried too. Could you advise on the legal implications and whether I should be concerned?

While a scuffle involving minor injuries can be reported to the police, it likely falls under the category of a minor offense. If both parties sustained injuries, it’s likely to be seen as a mutual fight, potentially leading to a compromise agreement. However, if the police deem it necessary, both parties may be investigated and could face charges depending on the severity of the injuries and the nature of the altercation.
