You should try to find out more details before doing anything. From the sounds of it you haven’t gotten the #1’s story yet - just some of #2’s story. For all you know #2 could have swung first. You also don’t know what kind of shape #1 is in.

If you can determine who started the physical violence first then fire that person but it shouldn’t be held against the person defending himself IMO.

You should only get involved to the point that it relates to what happened at the workplace.

You can’t control everything so fights can happen at work but if you don’t address it such that the environment is unsafe you could have problems.
