She was way out of line! Most kids go through a phase of hitting and she should realise that being a mum herself. Don't avoid the park because of her. If you see her again I'd let her know that if she has an issue with your son to discuss it like an adult with you and not to manhandle a toddler.
DS was fine shortly after.. i think a bit confused about what happen but little ones are resilient! We went back to the park and had a nice time there yesterday afternoon. Hopefully i can just put it past me and not have to deal with it again.
I would only touch another child to prevent them from severely hurting my child. (My DDs arm was broken by another child, and I put myself between them so he was hitting/shoving me, not her)
When my kids have gone through this phase, I would hover if they were too close to other kids, incase they randomly hit someone. But I do tend to encourage my kids to stay away from others if I think this might happen
