I am 24. If a 17-year-old girl attacks me to heat me with her hands, can I fight back and heat her? IS it legal to defend myself

We were talking about what she had lied to me, the were no bad words exchanges and suddenly she started getting angry, cursing me and she charged at me to hit me but his brother blocked her. I'd like to know if I or her brother could fight back if she touched us? She has about 15 days to become 18.
thank you very much
You can use reasonable force to defend yourself against an assault. What's reasonable? If the DA decides to file charges against you, it will be up to a jury to decide.
It's better to avoid confrontations in the first place. Since you know this young woman is violent, stay away from her.
