CCTV images of him have been released by police, as reported by Need To Know.
It happened at the Assahaba Centre in Bristol, during the first week of Ramadan on Friday (20 Feb).
Pork is considered taboo by Muslims.
Officers said CCTV footage and statements have been taken, increased patrols have been carried out to provide a visible reassurance, and they are in contact with the victims and other mosques while enquiries continue.
Avon and Somerset Police Chief Inspector Serena Serjeant said: “This was a deliberate act which has caused significant concern to the community during a period of heightened religious observance, and we will not tolerate hate in our communities.
“We promptly attended the scene upon receiving the report and we are continuing to engage with mosque leaders throughout Ramadan following this appalling incident, and we will continue to offer our support and assurance.
“We are treating this as a religiously aggravated public order offence, and we would urge anybody with information on the incident or the identity of the individual concerned to contact us.”
Anyone with information is being asked to call 101 quoting reference 5226049136 or complete an online appeals form.
