caused bodily injury to (VICTIM'S NAME); or

created a substantial risk of bodily injury to (VICTIM'S NAME);] and

(DEFENDANT'S NAME)

[used a dangerous weapon; or]

[committed an act that interfered with the breathing or the circulation of blood of (VICTIM'S NAME) by use of unlawful force or violence that was likely to produce a loss of consciousness by:

applying pressure to the neck or throat of (VICTIM'S NAME); or
