The incident began when a woman spit in a man's face in the park's Toontown area on Saturday, investigators said. The footage shows him retaliating by punching her repeatedly.
Moments later, that same man accuses another female relative of hitting his mother. He brutally attacks her, knocking her down and hitting her over and over again.
Officers responded to the scene and interviewed members of the family, none of whom were cooperative, and they were escorted from the park, police said.
Police opened a criminal case after becoming aware of the video on Sunday.
