An assault charge, a battery charge and if you seriously injure the person possibly more severe charges. If it's a family member or a girlfriend or wife a domestic violence charge. Also you could be sued and be held civilly liable for medical bills, wage loss and pain and suffering. It's probably not worth the few moments of satisfaction you might enjoy when you consider the months of legal nonsense you will have to put up with not to mention the costof fines and attorneys etc.
