There are several reasons for sudden onset of aggression including pain or infection somewhere, an increased thyroid hormone, or anxiety. If you want, you can try some feliway which is feline pheromones to help calm him. If This doesn’t work or if he stops eating or starts showing any other abnormal behaviors then I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to ensure he doesn’t have an infection and they can even check his thyroid hormones of needed. If everything is normal, then talk to your vet about putting him in an anti-anxiety meds if needed. I hope this helps!
