I checked out the legal definition of affray and you are quite correct!:

In the Public Order Act (1986) the British government replaced the common law offence [of affray] with a statutory definition at ¶3 as follows:

"A person is guilty of affray if he uses or threatens unlawful violence towards another and his conduct is such as would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at the scene to fear for his personal safety.

"Where 2 or more persons use or threaten the unlawful violence, it is the conduct of them taken together that must be considered for the purposes of (the above).

"For the purposes of this section a threat cannot be made by the use of words alone.

Sounds somewhat like terroristic threat.
