brutishly

In crude manner

In a manner resembling a brute—coarsely, savagely, or without refinement.

Someone who behaves brutishly acts with crude aggression or animal-like disregard for others: He shoved brutishly past the crowd.

The word suggests both physical roughness and a lack of civilized restraint.
