Looks like he may have jumped and hit the top of the tank. Not sure how else that could happen
Yeah either that or possibly got spooked and smashed into some decor (if any). OP just keep the water clean, try to reduce any stress that might be making it jumpy and it should heal up fine, just watch for secondary infection. With an injury like that I personally would also add some salt to the tank to help the healing process.
