Mr Abbott told Sky News he suffered minor injuries after he was headbutted.
A spokesman for Mr Abbott told AAP the incident occurred while he was walking in the street.
"He didn't have a blood nose or break his nose or anything like that," the spokesman said, who refused to elaborate on the incident or injuries.
A strident campaigner against same sex marriage, Mr Abbott told Sky News on Tuesday that the the government's postal plebiscite was a "fundamental mistake".
"Putting this matter to a plebiscite without giving the public the detail upon which they're having to vote. So they're asking us to sign a blank cheque."
