JERSEY CITY -- Police have issued an arrest warrant for a Carteret woman accused of attacking her 61-year-old mother at a Jersey City Chuck E. Cheese's Wednesday during a childcare dispute.

The victim -- a Jersey City resident -- told police she was at the Route 440 entertainment center with her daughter and two grandsons at around 4 p.m., according to a police report.

The two women began to argue over childcare, and the dispute turned physical when the daughter struck the 61-year-old several times in the face and only stopped when employees intervened, the report states.

The two 6- and 7-year-old boys were present during the attack but were not involved in any way during the assault. The younger woman left the scene before police arrived, the report states.

The boys' grandmother suffered swelling to her right cheek and had skin irritation but refused medical attention. She declined to have a temporary restraining order issued against her daughter, although she said she planned to file one at a later date, police said.

A warrant was issued for the daughter's arrest, cops said.
