affray


affray

Law a fight, noisy quarrel, or disturbance between two or more persons in a public place

affray


Affray

A criminal offense generally defined as the fighting of two or more persons in a public place that disturbs others.

The offense originated under the Common Law and in some jurisdictions has become a statutory crime. Although an agreement to fight is not an element of the crime under the common-law definition, some statutes provide that an affray can occur only when two or more persons agree to fight in a public place.

An affray is a type of Disorderly Conduct and a breach of the peace since it is conduct that disturbs the peace of the community. It is punishable by a fine, imprisonment, or both.

affray

in English criminal law, the use or threat of the use of unlawful violence, causing a person to fear for his safety, defined in terms of the fear caused to a person of reasonable firmness fearing for his safety. Mere words are sufficient, and the offence maybe committed in public or private with no other person actually being about.

AFFRAY, criminal law. The fighting of two or more persons, in some publicplace, to the terror of the people.
2. To constitute this offence there must be, 1st, a fighting; 2d, thefighting must be between two or more persons; 3d, it must be in some publicplace ; 4th, it must be to the terror of the people.
3. It differs from a riot, it not being premeditated; for if anypersons meet together upon any lawful or innocent occasion, and happen on asudden to engage in fighting, they are not guilty of a riot but an affrayonly; and in that case none are guilty except those actually engaged in it.Hawk. b. 1, c. 65, s. 3 ; 4 Bl. Com. 146; 1 Russell, 271.
