Shocking footage shows a man seeming to land a punch on an enforcement officer while a colleague picks himself up off the floor.
The alleged attacker then walks around the back of a black Audi – which appears to be parked on double yellow lines – before onlookers try to restrain him.
Bystanders can be heard screaming as the heavily built man then approaches the second warden outside Purfleet Primary School, Essex at around 8.50am on Thursday.
A witness can be heard shouting: "You're outside a school".
Both enforcement officers were taken to hospital for treatment — with one victim suffering a fracture to his eye socket.
Rob Gledhill, leader of Thurrock Council, said he was "absolutely disgusted" by the attack.
He added: "It is completely unacceptable and we are working with Essex Police to make sure that the strongest possible action is taken.
"The fact that this vicious attack happened while our officers were working to make the roads outside the school safer for children and their families makes this even more sickening.
"We will be offering support to our staff, their families and their colleagues following this incident.
"I would also like to thank those residents and parents who intervened to help our two officers, probably preventing further injury."
Essex Police arrested a 29-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman on suspicion of actual bodily harm.
The man, from London, has been released on bail until December 19, while the woman, from Purfleet, was released without charge.
