Pembroke Pines police said Pablo Batten, 46, arrived at Sunday evening's crash scene and grabbed Umana by the neck, slamming him to the pavement.
Police later determined that the other driver involved in the crash was Batten's 18-year-old son.
According to an arrest report, an officer was conducting an investigation to determine if Umana was impaired when Batten attacked him.
Batten was arrested on charges of aggravated battery on a person 65 or older and resisting an officer without violence. He left jail Monday night without answering any questions from Local 10 News reporter Christian De La Rosa.
Broward County court records show Umana was previously arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in 2013.
