Officials in Hamburg-Eidelstedt, Germany have launched a probe into the incident.
It is not the first time violence has erupted inside a refugee camp as a result of religious debate.
In August, riots broke out in an overcrowded German refugee camp after an Afghan resident tore pages out of a Koran and threw them in the toilet.
At least 17 people were left injured when 20 Syrian refugees chased the man after he ruined the Islamic holy book.
The crowd even turned their anger to the camp's security guards who tried to protect the alleged offender.
The migrants smashed car windows, ransacked buildings and demolished the walls, which divide the shelter in Suhl, Thuringia, in a rampage which lasted several hours.
