Corpus Christi police chief Mike Markle says his department is seeking the names of some good samaritans to recognize them for stopping a fight that took place over the weekend at a popular children's park.

Chief Markle says an arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect involved in the attack.

According to police, the assault happened at Cole Park Saturday evening. In a video shared with KRIS 6 News, you can see two women arguing in a video inside the park, with a woman holding a child in their arms. The argument turns into a physical assault.

At the end of the video, the people involved in the assault are separated by a group of men.
