My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
I was very recently attacked by large dogs which were off leash (in a public area where they were supposed to be on-leash). The dog owner saw that his dogs were attacking me (charging towards me barking, then jumping up on me), yet did nothing to attempt to rein in the dogs (no "bad dog" or "Down! Down!) or reassure me (No "Don't worry they won't bite"). Instead, he yelled at and insulted me, saying that it was entirely my fault. I shouldn't have presented the dogs with "fear behaviors," i.e. cowering and protecting myself. While I attempted to defend myself and remind him that his dogs needed to be leashed, his verbal, "in-your-face" aggression continued. Finally, I just snapped and slapped him (once) on the shoulder. At this point, he said that I had crossed a line and he either could or would call the police for "assault," (although battery is the correct term, since I never threatened him in any way). After I slapped him, I was shocked. I've never hit anyone before (much less a stranger in public). I wasn't even thinking that I was going to do it. It just somehow happened. After this, I walked away, then came back a while later (the path I was on dead-ended and I had to come back). The man was still there, now filming me with his iPhone as I approached. He said he was gathering "evidence."
I haven't heard anything from the police since this has happened, but am worried that this guy is just crazy enough to file a complaint. Do I have to worry? Is there anything I should do in the meantime? Can I assume that since the police didn't show up at the "scene of the crime," or come to my house since, I am out of the woods? Or do I have to worry about this for some time to come?
BTW, after this incident, I contacted several park officials and described the incident to them. I included the slapping, for which I sincerely apologized, but also wanted to let them know about this man's aggressive behavior. This man did not get my name or address (although he has me on video). The park officials have my first name and both my home and cell phone number.
