Hypothetically, if someone were to arrive at residence and find a person physically abusing his s/o and that someone were to step in and defend the s/o physically, could the person be prosecuted for assault?

We tend not to do hypotheticals on this forum because, with hypotheticals, anything is possible.

If you have a real legal issue you are wrestling with, we can try to assist you with it.

could the person be prosecuted for assault?

The only answer to that question is yes.

But if you meant to ask could the person be convicted of assault the only answer to that is maybe. It depends on the circumstances.

Google Ohio Self Defense or Ohio Defense of Others and you'll find plenty of resources.
