You use the GetPlayerFromCharacter(chr) method of Players.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    print(player)
end)

However, this code is bad. If an AI or another brick touches this brick, we will get an error because there is no player. We can fix this with a simple if statement.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        print(player)
    end
end)
