I personally think it will be an accident and Hwyel get's caught up in a fight Ed starts with someone else. Still enough for people to turn against Ed but not so obviously criminal as intentionally punching a sick man in the head in the Deri to protect his steroid use.
I know Ed is stupid and taking drugs... but even with all that intentionally hitting Hwyel seems a bit much. I know they did that with Kevin raping Sheryl in such a blatant way so maybe the writers will go there again. I don't think the Kevin as rapist storyline works though.
