In fact holding a rock up in a menacing manner making a person reasonably apprehend you are going to throw it at them is still an assault in law. Throwing it is not even required.
And while we are at it, aggressively accosting someone for a cigarette while carrying an enforcer rock can also fit squarely in the definition of a criminal assault:

Not advocating every technical assault should be full on investigated by police but all the references (including apparently from the police) that police can’t do anything about someone throwing a rock at you if they miss are quite baffling for how wrong they are. |
I don’t think anyone here is disputing the Rock throwing as assault. They’re all getting their jollies on the OP for spotting the perp a second time as he rode by
Seriously, if you want something done, you may have to take things into your own hands. Just be prepared to never walk the same route again
