Conviction for assault could not stand because the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant intended to threaten the constable or did an act, beyond pausing with a knife in hand, that would unequivocally constitute an assault; ambiguous testimony that the knife was held "in a threatening manner" without clarification was insufficient to support a safe verdict.
