No warrant is ever necessary. Any armed assault is a felony offense for which only probable cause is necessary to effect an arrest.
So-called 'Simple Assault' in most(all?) jurisdictions is a "probable cause misdemeanor" and, unlike the vast majority of other misdemeanor offenses (which must be committed in the officers presence for an arrest to be made), you can be arrested for it based on probable cause alone.
