agredir

To attack or assault someone, physically or verbally — agredir a alguien, fue agredido en la calle. Extremely common in news reporting on crime and violence (agresión, agresor), and traditionally defective (missing forms like agredo), though modern usage increasingly conjugates it fully.

• El hombre agredió a un vecino durante la discusión. — The man assaulted a neighbor during the argument.
• Nunca hay excusa para agredir verbalmente a alguien. — There's never an excuse to verbally attack someone.
• La policía investiga a quienes agredieron al conductor. — Police are investigating whoever assaulted the driver.

Assuming agredir is always physical — Spanish news uses it just as often for verbal or psychological aggression, so context (not the verb itself) tells you which kind of attack occurred.
