Another question about prepositions, still on vs in. Smile

The unnamed still photographer was in stable condition after five Iraqi policemen struck him on the head with AK-47 rifles, an Iraqi Interior Ministry official said.

Can I say "She hit the sexual predator in the head with her purse filled with rocks and ran away"?

I've heard both preposition when it comes to "head"

Thanks in advance!

Either 'in' or 'on' can be used.
