The pair will be charged in court tomorrow, Lianhe Wanbao said. They are believed to be aged 21 and 39, the evening paper reported.
A total of seven men were allegedly involved in ganging up and beating to the ground a man in his forties or fifties last Saturday night.
The incident was caught on video by a passer-by and uploaded onto the Internet.
In the graphic video, a youth clad in grey started spewing expletives at the Ferrari driver.
A man in white then walked forward to the youth, who was being restrained by a female friend wearing a white top and jeans, and kept taunting him.
The friend managed to pull the youth back but the man came up to the duo and started gesturing.
The man and the youth then started throwing punches at each other. Three of the youth's friends came into the picture and started to surround the man, backing him into the wall. At this point, they were just next to Harry's Bar.
Two more youths then jumped in and the entire group was seen raining blows on the man. One youth stood by the side and watched.
The fight was over in less than 10 seconds when the man fell to the ground but the group of youths continued to kick and stomp at the man.
At this point the man in red who appeared earlier stepped forward to try and help but was stopped by the group.
The one-sided fight only ended when the youths were stopped and pulled away by their female friend.
The clip ended dramatically with one of the youths shouting at the passer-by who filmed the incident to delete the clip.
A police spokesman told The New Paper that they had received a call for assistance at the location. When the officers arrived, it was established that a fight had broken out between two parties.
The police are currently investigating.
