Threatening Someone In Ny

Summary

In New York, making threats can result in arrest, classified as harassment or assault. Menacing involves placing someone in fear of imminent serious injury. The statement I never want to see you in this neighborhood ever again could be considered menacing if it implies a credible threat of harm. However, without a clear threat or physical harm, aggressive confrontation alone may not be a crime. Harassment includes behaviors that annoy or alarm, but context and repetition are key factors. If the incident was a one-time event without a clear threat, it may not be classified as a crime. Consider seeking legal advice for personalized guidance.
