I guess that when I look at this, my take is that he definitely swings his stick at Raffl intentionally, but I don't see that kind of a swing as "intent to injure" any more than Raffl's punch to the head.
Now if this were a two-handed chop to the head (hit or miss), then I could see the argument for 'intent to injure', but I don't see it here. But careless, sure thing.
Heck, I think most of the slashes to Johnny's hands are more of an intent to injure than this one is.
