Question: Joy was having a bad day at work when Lucile came into the store where Joy was employed.Lucile spent nearly an hour looking around at the merchandise but did not appear to be interested in actually purchasing anything.Joy walked up to Lucile and began yelling, "I know you are just here to steal stuff!It's very obvious.You are a thief!"Lucile began to cry and tried to leave the store, but Joy blocked her way and then locked the outside door.Joy then yelled, "I'm going to get you," and shoved Lucile on the floor.When Lucile ran into the bathroom, Joy locked the door behind her leaving Lucile there until the police came (Joy called them after locking the bathroom).

For what torts could Lucile potentially (depending potentially on some unknown facts) sue Joy?

For example, if I identify battery as one of the torts present, then I should list the elements of battery, which are: Intentional, Harmful, Physical Contact, and Which Causes Harm.

It sounds like there are several torts in this scenario and I need help with identifying them.
