Economic Damages $ 5,599.00

Noneconomic Damages $50,000.00

Total $55,599.00

The court also finds that the assault upon the plaintiff was willful, wanton and malicious. Accordingly, by way of punitive damages, the court awards attorneys fees to the plaintiff in the amount of 1/3 of the damages of $55,599.00 for a total of $18,533.00 attorney's fees plus costs.

The total judgment is, therefore, $74,154.00.
