As criminal assault lawyers in Santa Rosa, Napa, Lakeport and Ukiah point out, if the type of danger is imminent and could reasonably be perceived as causing bodily injury or even unlawful touching, then the defense applies.
Acting in self-defense can justifiably result in injury to both the attacker(s) and an innocent bystander. This defense is very specific and can be somewhat difficult to apply but can also be very effective.
