Some context would help determine the most-suitable equivalent
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.
