A brawl of 20 people erupted outside a pub leaving one man in hospital while another woman was knocked out.
An 18-year-old had to be treated for facial injuries following the fracas outside the bar in Merthyr Tydfil in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The injured woman meanwhile was punched and had her wedding ring stolen in the fight outside the town's Celtic Bar.
Her husband told Wales Online it was an unprovoked and seemingly random attack.
"There was no incident previous to it," he said.

"She's got bruising all over her face, two teeth have gone through the inside of her lip and she's waiting for a follow-up hospital appointment to see if her nose is broken because they can't tell at the moment."
He said his 31-year-old wife already struggled for confidence and the attack has "knocked her for six".
