Yes. It is called assault and battery.

Under California Penal Code section 240, simple assault is the unlawful threat of bodily harm to another person. For example, raising your fist toward someone’s face as if you’re going to strike them constitutes simple assault.

The law defines assault and battery as an unwanted touching that is done in a rude or angry manner. It can be as simple as shoving someone, blocking their way, spitting on them, grabbing someone’s arm, throwing something (liquid or otherwise) at them, or even grabbing something out of their hand.

Usually, assault in the second degree is charged as a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 10 years of imprisonment, a fine of up to $2,500, or both. If the victim of the assault is a law enforcement officer, parole officer, or probation officer acting within the scope of his official duties, the crime is charged as a felony.

The penalties that may result from a second degree assault conviction include: Imprisonment: In most cases, a class 4 felony carries a mandatory minimum – sentence of 5 years and a maximum of 16 years. Parole: The mandatory sentence of parole is 3 years. Fines: The minimum fine of a class 4 felony is $2,000, and the maximum fine is $500,000.

Second degree assault is generally a misdemeanor unless the alleged victim is a law enforcement officer or parole/probation agent acting in their official duty, in which case it is charged as a felony.

Assault in the second degree requires some mandatory incarceration. The sentencing range for state prison is 2-7 years. The court however is authorized to impose jail for a lesser period of time (as low as one day) in combination with probation IF he was never previously convicted of a felony.
