Some context would help determine the most-suitable equivalent


Explanation:
Greetings.

As Fuad suggests, providing some context would help determine the most-suitable equivalent for that term, such as the ages and numbers of the participants and methods and weapons used (if any), and outcome of that => scuffle / skirmish / clash / tussle / fray.

HTH. Khair, in sha' Allah.

Regards.
