Rye, New York (CNN) -- What was meant to be a celebration signal the end of Ramadan turned into a melee at one fun park on Tuesday when a group of Muslim women were told they weren't allowed on decisive rides with their headscarves.

Rye Playland was full of observers celebrating Eid al-Fitr when the festive mood turned angry. Westchester County Police said the women dressing the hijab, a traditional Muslim headscarf, became argumentative while park employees enforced the no-headgear policy and men sprang to their ward.

"(The rule) didn't obtain relayed to the people who attended, so some people got upset,Oakley Sunglasses outlet," said Westchester County Police Capt. Thomas Gleason.

Fifteen people were captured and 2 charged with felony assault after two park rangers sustained minor injuries.

Among those arrested were three women wearing the hijab. Police shut down the park for several hours during the incident.

"It had to do with headgear. People -- patrons -- are not allowed to wear headgear on rides for safety causes," Gleason said.

Zead Ramadan, spokesman for the New York part of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said members of the Muslim American Society who had mobilized the outing inquired him apt come to the park apt mediate. Ramadan said the women felt they had been targeted at park employees because of their religious outlooks.

"They're the most apparent Muslims around because they have hijabs on. They felt they were distinguished against," Ramadan said.

"Maybe there was a level of frustration that went around cross the board," Ramadan said. "Then you have the parks people who are attempting to explain this and do their job."

Ramadan said he saw a cell-phone video showing police "yanking a hijabi-wearing female out of the crowd."

"She was quite small. They turn her nigh and dart her down on the floor." Ramadan said that's when the mob got very angry.

"Nobody was assaulted prior to the police being phoned, and that in itself is a problem," Ramadan said.

Gleason said he was aware "there was some cell-phone footage and perhaps some movie,Discount Oakley Sunglasses,"

"There's not official video that we have released by this time," he said. "There are some videos in the park that we're retaining for our own information."

Gleason said he had looked looked "bits and chips" of call footage from the incident.

He said park officials told the Muslim organizers about the headgear ban but that information wasn't relayed to the team of visitors.

Ramadan chalked the whole episode up to "miscommunication."

"The women felt they were being targeted, yet in fact these were safety precautions," he said. "And maybe (the park) didn't do the best job in disclosing those precautions."

But Westchester County Parks Deputy Commissioner Peter Tartaglia says the policy was made abundantly remove to the group's organizer, and that the rules are apparently posted.

"We repeatedly told him, because we knew this group would have religious headgear," Tartaglia insisted adding that a repay booth was set up in case anyone objected to the policy,######## Oakleys, which he said is posted prominently in the park.

"There's a sign at each ride,Cheap Oakley Sunglasses," Tartaglia said. "When you enter the park, there's a height line and it lists headgear policy.

"What triggered the incident was fighting within the group and the subject was why they didn't know the policy," said Tartaglia, adding that he arrived at the scene about 20 minutes after the fight broke out. He said police were called when it arose the altercation could lead to a riot.

Ride safety precautions posted on its website include the following safety rule:

"Hats must be secured, and jackets/sweaters must be worn properly and not around the waist meantime on a ride. Some rides do not allow backpacks, wallets alternatively pate gear of anyone kind."
