Can the hitter be criminally detained for intentional minor injuries?

No, any behavior that infringes on others' personal health will be punished according to the degree of injury. If the victim is identified as a minor or above, the attacker needs to bear criminal responsibility. Those who are identified as minor injuries belong to the scope of public security punishment, and the public security organ may impose administrative detention on the hitter. The victim may bring a lawsuit to the people's court and demand compensation for medical expenses and other losses.

Legal analysis

According to relevant laws and regulations, fighting causes others to be injured, and how to punish them depends on the victim's injury. If the injury is identified as minor injury, the victim can directly sue the court for personal injury compensation, and at the same time, he can ask the public security organ to give the hitter administrative punishment according to public security management. If the injury is identified as minor or more, it constitutes the crime of intentional injury. If the infringement of another person's body needs to be liable for compensation, and does not constitute minor injuries, the public security organ may mediate. If both parties reach an agreement on compensation, they may sign a conciliation statement. If mediation fails or the other party refuses to pay compensation, the victim may bring a civil lawsuit. The victim who refuses to pay compensation may bring a civil lawsuit, and the people's court shall support his claim for compensation within a reasonable range. If the beating causes personal injury to others, it shall compensate the victim for medical expenses, nursing expenses, transportation expenses, lost time and other losses. Among them, medical expenses are determined according to relevant evidence such as medical expenses and hospitalization expenses issued by medical institutions.
