Attacks by men on men are quite widely known to be the most common... At least the most common requiring hospital treatment at least, and it would make sense that the overall figure would correlate to some extent.

It is to an extent comparing apples with oranges though, as there are scant figures on how many of those assaults involve "mutual" physical attacks (fighting).

When it comes to domestic violence women obviously are the primary victims, although female-on-male violence is reported less. Both are woefully under-reported of course. HOWEVER - and I do think this is an important stat - domestic violence incidents resulting in serious injury or death are MASSIVELY skewed to male-on-female.
