Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Odd question: If, at a restaurant, the person sitting opposite you starts to shake the table (...not violently) in hopes of you choking on your soda, is that still considered attempted murder? The person was remorseful and said that they had severe mental illness-- does he need to be turned in?

Perhaps, it's time for you to consider a different lunchmate?
