NY Penal Law § 120.14: Menacing in the second degree
Menacing is a crime that involves doing something that puts another person in fear of immediate physical injury. No such physical injury is required to be charged with menacing. The statute only requires that you threaten another person with immediate physical injury or death. If your actions include displaying a weapon, then you will be charged with menacing in the second degree as defined in New York Penal Code § 120.14. To be prosecuted for menacing in the second degree the prosecutor must show that you: Intentionally placed another person in reasonable fear of physical injury by displaying a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument, or
You repeatedly follow someone or engage in a course of conduct that intentionally places another person in reasonable fear of physical injury or death, or
You committed the crime of menacing in the third degree in violation of an order of protection.
