Go to the nearest ER: your cousin was in a fight and it appears he has had a significant head trauma. This is very serious and he should be taken to the nearest emergency room. Possible problems could be bleeding in the brain called a Subdural Hematoma and this is a real emergency that needs immediate attention. He is acting differently and this is very concerning. Please be sure to take him to the ER or call 911
