headbutted
Attacked with forehead
Headbutted is the past tense of headbutt—to strike someone or something with your head, typically the forehead.
It's a deliberate blow, common in fights and certain sports: He headbutted the defender and got a red card.
Animals like goats and rams headbutt instinctively.
The move can also be accidental: The toddler headbutted me in the nose.
