Witnesses said they saw a man throw the bottle and then quickly run off.
Some residents in the community are shocked by what happened.
"As long as we can remember, no one has ever vandalized our mosque. We have so many wonderful neighbors here. They treat us like family. We were obviously shaken and confused to see like this happen because it doesn't really happen here,” said Shahbaz Shaikh.
