For Muslims, it is currently the holy month of Ramadan when many fast from dawn until sunset.
It is traditional to gather in mosques and community centres to break the fast at the end of each day.
South Wales Police said that two men, aged 18 and 19 who are both from the Cardiff area, are in custody.
Police said they were quickly arrested and officers are not currently looking for anybody else in connection with the incident.
