Soran Hassan, 25, of Portman Road and Raza Aziz, 20, of Ransome Crescent were arrested for possessing offensive weapons.
Hassan, a food factory worker pleaded guilty to possessing a baseball bat. He was sentenced to a four month curfew between midnight and 7am and told to pay £60 costs.
District Judge David Cooper said: “There was trouble brewing between the Kurdish population and the Polish but this is a rubbish way to treat people to arm yourself and frighten people.
“We are a crowded little island and we have to get on with one another.”
