But violence here includes any unlawful touching of another however slight for as Blackstone wrote:
(a) The applicant was an innocent by-stander waiting for a taxi at Sackville Street standing on the pavement and doing nothing to contribute to the causation of the injuries which she sustained.
(b) Her leg injuries were clearly directly attributable to being pushed fairly hard on the left shoulder that caused her to fall on glass on the pavement.
(c) The male persons were running along the pavement at such a speech and in such a way that they presented a clear danger to pedestrians on the pavement. That danger involved the likelihood of the runners coming into physical contact with a pedestrian such as the applicant if the pedestrian got in the way.
