Flight attendant X, a male, ex-military intervened and separated the two. A third passenger with lap child seated next to them was relocated. A second call from the flight deck to obtain an update from flight attendant X was interrupted again as he had to intervene between the two. Other passenger appeared scared. I elected to divert to bermuda. Aircraft was met by bermuda police and medical personnel. After landing I went into cabin, observed 2 passenger, Y and Z, at either end of the cabin. Passenger Y was cut above his eye, his lip, and his hand. Seats xa/xb had been covered with blood. The right aft lavatory was blood- splattered from the clean-up. All clean up materials were locked up in a serving cart. The 2 fighters were deplaned by bermuda police. Aircraft was refueled, re-filed and continued to destination.
