TOOK IT

Hi,
I would like to know the meaning of this idiom or just verb here:

'He was resisiting giving me the money so I hit him upside the head and just TOOK IT.'
Does it mean that after I hit him I took the money or that after I hit him he understood?

Thanks in advance, Jo.

I: I took the money
He: see MM's answer
