Her personal space was invaded, and unless she was wearing a sign that said, it's ok to touch me, that guy had no business touching her.

It is definitely assault.

Don't get me wrong here. I agree that this was wrong. In a public place - you should definely challenge them on it. Ask them what they think they are doing. Easy for me to say I suppose. You don't necessarily have to yell and attract attention. Just let them know that you are a person and you are not happy.
But....
For those who pass judgement, rate this as assault or suggest an immediate physical counter-attack - please consider two things.
First up, no physical damage has been done.
Secondly - that it occasionally happens that a guy's hand lands on a breast accidentally. If you are reading or looking the other way in a store... reach out for a book, trolley or wall.
You'll probably all disagree on that last one. Seriously. It happens (rare). I can't remember details of the last time. It was a quite a while back. Surprised me as much as the woman. No harm done. I think she accepted that I wasn't meaning to touch her ('cos I apologized immediately) but who knows.
