Police are appealing for information after an assault in Bargoed High Street left a woman in hospital for 12 days.
At 4.40pm on Monday March 1, a 41-year-old woman was attacked by two other women.
Gwent Police said there had been a verbal exchange between the two groups in the CK Food store prior to the attack.

She was possibly wearing blue tracksuit bottoms and either a dark coloured or white top.
