coshed
Hit with club
Coshed is the past tense of cosh, meaning to strike someone on the head with a heavy blunt object—typically a weighted club or bludgeon.
The word is primarily British: He was coshed from behind and left unconscious in the alley.
A cosh itself is a small, easily concealed weapon used for such blows.
