Toddler biting/hitting HELP!

Hi all, just really hoping for some advice if anyone has been through this we have a 2yr 10 month old and he's suddenly in the last month just started hitting us and biting us and objects like the sofa arms, my clothes I'm wearing, blankets, it's like he's turned into a wild animal, it's very odd. He seems to do this mostly when we're not engaged in an activity with him for example I sit on the sofa for 5 minutes and if he's not happy about that he'll just come over an begin hitting or biting even when we're trying to dress him or get his shoes on he's be as awkward as possible and hit us in the face whilst we're trying to wrestle him into his shoes, I'm thinking maybe it's attention seeking behaviour but it's really wearing us down we've tried gently telling him, tried time outs, tried a more stern approach nothing seems to work and he'll even find it funny or say it was an accident or he didn't mean it. Just at a loose end now, any advice would be amazing please 🙏
