Yes, that is where the name comes from, although it is a form of detaining a suspect rather than truly arresting one.
Citizens Arrest ended in 1991.
Colorado Revised Statutes Title 16-3-201. Arrest by a private person."A person who is not a peace officer may arrest another person when any crime has been or is being committed by the arrested person in the presence of the person making the arrest."
It sounds like you may be referring to a so-called "citizens arrest' wherein (in some states) citizens are empowered to arrest perpetrators observed committing felony crimes.
Realistically, attempting a citizen's arrest on someone already assaulting you doesn't sound like a good idea. They aren't going to 'submit' and will only prolong or intensify the affray. If you are using the excuse that he was struggling against your 'arrest' as a justification for continuing the fight, you are on VERY shaky legal ground.
