Yes prove intent, but depending on the legal system that might not be enough. Say I believe that spraying someone with sparkling water on the beach would kill you, that does not necessarily mean you attempted to take someones life. Similarly hurting someone in sports does not mean you assaulted them in a criminal sense.
Right in front of the Dunkin, huh? It would be terrible if people kept accidentally spilling their coffee, hot chocolate and the like on it considering you have to immediately scrape bird shit and dead bugs off of it when you get to where you're going to avoid corrosion. (Really.)
