Supposedly, there's a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. The problem is the brain damage you incur finding out all the wrong ways to do it in the process of getting your technique down.

I knew a guy who used to headbutt walls and lockers and such. He was not a very sharp fellow, but man, I watched him lose it in a wrestling match in high school and do pretty much what's in the video. It was surprisingly effective. Seems like you gotta really commit and aim it right at the bridge of the nose, though.

The guy in the video did it the right way. I wouldn't be surprised if the other guy's nose was broken and pouring blood.

Looked very rugby to me.

In my mind I heard the sound of a billiards break.

That sounded like ... ever see a professional clean a head of iceberg lettuce? They thump it on the counter to push the stalk into the head before ripping it off the head? That thump.

Notice the big guys facial expression. Confidence. Sort of bored, blank, just doing a necessary task. Maybe a seasoned door man or a cop. Not so much a brawler but someone experienced and accustomed to taking charge and controlling the situation.

British police are standing by an off-duty officer who was filmed subduing a man suspected of theft, making threats, and carrying a knife on a crowded London Underground train by headbutting him to the floor.

The viral video footage shows a highly agitated man with a foreign accent loudly remonstrating with a tall white male — later revealed to be an off-duty police officer — thrusting his head towards him aggressively and appearing to jostle with him.

The officer brings the confrontation to a decisive end by delivering a resounding headbutt to the shouting man’s face, to cries of “Ooh!” following by approving laughter from onlooking passengers.

Despite often being accused of throwing frontline officers under the bus when they have to use force to subdue suspected criminals, it seems that senior police are on this occasion standing by their man, with the Metropolitan Police Force telling the Metro that they were “aware of social media footage showing an off-duty Met officer on a mainline train on the afternoon… [it] is a limited capture of the incident, which is believed to have lasted in excess of 20 minutes.”

The force added that its “Directorate of Professional Standards [has] reviewed the video and the details surrounding the incident and are satisfied that there is no indication that the officer committed a criminal offence, nor that he behaved in a manner that would justify disciplinary proceedings.”

British Transport Police (BTP) have also defended the officer via their official Twitter account, telling one of the few respondents who did not approve of the officer’s use of force — a user with “#RevokeA50” and a European Union flag in their handle — that the suspected criminal “had been making violent threats to passengers and was in the process of being detained when he was headbutted,” and was subsequently “arrested at #Upminster for possessing an offensive weapon and theft”.

Reports indicate that the suspect was also arrested for making threats with intent to cause fear of unlawful violence.

Mind the gap! The one that's now spurting blood.

Waving a knife around and uttering threats in a VERY crowded public place would earn him a golden bullet in most of the USA and many other places. In Brazil, where we often see off-duty police officers dropping the BGS where they stood, nobody would have blunk an eye if this POS had met the same end.

I'm ready to bet, without being accused of fomenting any kind of racial hatred, that the dropee might just be of one particular religious persuasion that has an unfortunate habit of acting like this.

Mormon? Nope.

Baptist? Again, nope.

We'll see, but if his name SHOULD be something like Nigel Willams or Thomas Sittingbourne then I'm prepared to eat my keyboard with a sauce of your choice.

Having played a bit of rugby...I do recall a habit of head butting.
It’s all about dick measuring.

And yes there is a proper way to win.(hint, The taller you are the better.)

How does that not hurt the deliverer of the head butt? I never understood that.

No, but I've heard that most sport concussions are from heading the ball in soccer.

No, but I've heard that most sport concussions are from improperly heading the ball in soccer.
