Left store after security tried to stop me for shoplifting.

That does not sounds like assault unless there was a physical injury.

That's a definition that varies state-by-state. Don't guess!

This is New York and it's not a guess. Assault in New York State requires a physical injury (or "substantial pain" but I have NEVER seen a court or a prosecutor charge assault under that circumstance).
