Police are appealing for information over the alleged incident in Llangefni, Anglesey, the night before the Assembly’s rugby side was due to play Llangefni RFC veterans on Saturday.
North Wales Police confirmed two 31-year-old men from South Wales had been arrested and released on bail.
The side, called Welsh Assembly Rugby and made up of Assembly staff, AMs and others, had been due to play Llangefni veterans at 2pm on Saturday but the game was called off at the last minute.
