If a juvenile court sustained a petition alleging an assault under the circumstances you described the minor would likely be placed on probation.

There is not a set punishment that must be imposed in that situation. Since it is a juvenile case, a judge will determine the punishment if there is a finding (i.e., conviction) for the crime.

It does not matter where the event took place. The assault is at a minimum Assault 4 which is a gross misdemeanor. The sentencing range is 364 days in jail and $5,000.
