A guy was talking about this on one of the Dark Knight groups on Facebook...I dont know too much myself, but supposedly England has a different definition of assault. Here's how he put it:

In England, assault can mean simply scaring the hell out of someone and making them fear an unlawful act. That could be as simple as raising a fist or yelling a lot so even if he didn't touch them and just walked off, it can still be considered assault. And in England, it's policy to arrest a suspect before questioning them. Let's just wait and see what Bale has to say before jumping to conclusions.

Vaguely reassuring...
