A group of people hit a person, and that person hit back. Is it a fight?

Generally speaking, the party fighting back does not belong to self-defense, because the first condition of self-defense is that the illegal act must be targeted. Illegal acts include general illegal acts and criminal acts that endanger society, such as murder, rape, robbery and arson.

Fighting is illegal. Both sides should bear the corresponding legal responsibilities, whether they strike first or fight back later, which generally does not constitute justifiable defense. Self-defense refers to the act of stopping the illegal infringement against the person who is committing the illegal infringement and causing damage to the illegal infringer. It belongs to self-defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.

How to deal with the law of fighting?

The legal treatment of fighting is as follows:

(1) If a fight causes more than minor injuries, it constitutes a crime of intentional injury, and criminal responsibility shall be investigated, and it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance;

(2) Whoever causes serious injuries shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years;

(3) If a fight causes minor injuries, it shall be punished by public security, detained for more than five days and less than ten days, and fined for more than 200 yuan and less than 500 yuan.
