Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

felonious assault

I actually have two questions. Would two domestic violence cases seven years apart, in different states constitute a felonious assault? Can you please give me the exact definition of felonious assault? thank you for your time. I will probably have additional questions when these are answered.
