It absolutely is assault at should be reported as such.

It is an implicit threat.

Get a fucking clue.

I 100% guarantee you, not one single police officer in my town would take the woman's side in this scenario. Right or not, its just how it would go.

Let the court decide. Jury of peers would see it as a threat. Get enough cases like this and cops would start to see it as normal fighting (If you claim assault, so will they) and both parties will start to get off with warnings. One of which will reconsider saying such things again.

You might be right that it is an implicit threat and as a threat it constitutes verbal assault, but you'd have a hard time making any real headway in court with that, especially in a he said/she said situation. It might be a crime, but it's one which will see almost no prosecution.
