I’ll chime in with my two sense. I’m not going to lecture you. No one is perfect but violence is never the answer unless your protecting yourself or a love one from serious harm.
I believe a lot depends on how injured the other person is. Did you break his nose? His jaw? Hopefully all you did is hurt his ego.
If the police come knocking on your door. Just respectfully tell them that you do not know the law and need to speak to your attorney.
If this happens, obviously get an attorney and let them handle the issue.
I can see this going in many different directions but most likely nothing will happen to you, but I can also surmise that you might have to pay for some damages to that car the ‘victim’ hit.
Saying all this the ‘victim’ was a douche.

Being a douche isn't a crime, assaulting anyone, even when that someone is a massive douche, is a serious crime, however.
Your belief is wrong, the aggravating factor isn't how severe the injury is, it's whether OP cause any bodily injury at all. Since there is injury, this is at the very least a class A misdemeanor or a third degree felony depending on which state OP in. Both of which carry jail time and fine in the thousand.
OP indeed will need an attorney. His best bet is that guy agree to a settlement. But even then, a prosecutor can still decide to prosecute OP anyway.

Follow the guys saying get a good lawyer, and do what they say. Likely with a good lawyer you have a good chance unless theres any video evidence or cameras at the park that caught the incident.
