A video of the incident, which took place on Tuesday in the Wagle Estate area, showing two men brandishing swords and chasing a group, has gone viral on social media, sparking outrage.
The two accused were arrested on Wednesday, an official from Wagle Estate police station said, reported PTI.
The incident occurred when a 24-year-old man, who works at a car washing centre, was sitting with a group of people.

When the group members did not comply with the request, the two accused, who were armed with swords, allegedly attacked two of them, the official said.
"Two members of the group sustained injuries during the assault," the official said, reported PTI.
The attackers had arrived with an intent to intimidate and were seen threatening others in the vicinity as well, eyewitnesses claimed.
Some passersby and local shopkeepers alerted the police control room.
The police arrested the accused, both aged 30, and booked them on charges of attempt to murder and other relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the official said, adding the incident's video clip was authentic and part of the evidence in the case, reported PTI.
The injured persons were undergoing treatment and reported to be out of danger, the police said.
