Police appealed for witnesses to a confrontation that led to an alleged assault in a recreation ground in Brook Road, Benfleet, at 8.20pm on Monday.
A spokesman for Benfleet police said: "A group of youths were seen to be throwing stones, one of which hit a parked van.
"The owner confronted the people believed responsible and a fight ensued."
A 53-year-old man and a youth of 15 were arrested and released on police bail pending further inquiries.
Police would particularly like to hear from a man who was walking his dog and pointed the youths out.
