Getting attacked by a kangaroo is extremely rare.
Like most social herbivores, the males fight with each other to gain the right to mate with a mon of females, but other than that they are not normally aggressive.
Young male joeys love to play box each other and make constant juvenile attempts to box other members of the mob. When they're old enough to become pests they get expelled; they then join a mob of bachelors.
There are some rare situations where a male roo might attack a man. "Chris 'Brolga' Barns is the founder of the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs. He was featured in the 2013 BBC documentary series Kangaroo Dundee. Barns and the Kangaroo Sanctuary came to international attention when Roger, one of the earlier kangaroos that he adopted, went viral for his muscular physique."
