This varies from state to state. In my state, some things that qualify:

Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to a person. Bodily injury means physical pain, illness, or the impairment of any physical condition. So, just slapping someone hard enough to cause pain counts. Even feeding someone a strong laxative concealed in food would count.

Intentionally or knowingly threatening another with bodily injury. “I’m going to beat you until you don’t know whether it’s day or night!” Just the threat counts, you don’t need to back it up.
