Probably just hit it against the lid. Looks worse than it really is and should heal up fine pretty quickly if you keep the water clean. My o's do this from time to time.
its probably just a bad scrape. i would personally use melafix to prevent infection and promote tissue growth. others stand by salt which ive never personally used so i cant comment.
also keep your water really clean with water changes, at least 50% weekly but twice weekly is better.

i agree, looks to be just a scrape. my oscar beats himself up a lot too, it always heals on its own w/o adding anything
personally I'd add a divider to keep it separated from the rest of the fish so it won't be stressed, and other than that just keep up with massive water changes and it should heal fine
mine get scraped / cut all the time when they are sparring and or playing. the above advice should do your fish fine.
