No because you are the victim not the perpetrator.

If you were the victim, then it is very unlikely that you violated any restrictions. But the story always looks different after a bit of time passes. You probably are obliged to report any police contact to your P.O. or other supervisor. You should follow the rules closely.

It's the guy who hit you who is in trouble. You haven't violated any criminal law.

If you were the victim of a crime, why would you think this would violate the terms and conditions of your probation? If you committed the battery, you have violated the terms and conditions of your conditional release (probation).

You being a crime victim alone is not a violation.

If you were the victim and not the perpetrator, it should not affect your court supervision.
