Wayne Rooney’s head was cut open on night out by flying plate thrown by his youngest son

WAYNE Rooney’s head was cut open on a night out by a flying plate thrown by his youngest son.

Cass, four, launched it like a frisbee and accidentally hit his dad as the former footie ace enjoyed a boozy meal at a restaurant.

We reported his wound last week and Cass has been revealed as the culprit — after he got over-excited during traditional Greek plate smashing.

A witness said: “Wayne took it very well. His poor lad was very sorry.”

Wayne, 37, wife Coleen, 36, and pals were partying on holiday in Dubai when Cass scored his direct hit.

But the England and Man Utd legend laughed it off despite his gashed forehead.

The couple were with kids Kai, 12, Klay, nine, Kit, six, and Cass plus pals including ex-Red Devils team-mate Phil Bardsley and his wife Tanya, who shared footage online.

It included Coleen balancing a plate and shot glass on her head as a waiter poured at the restaurant, where ex-boxing champ Amir Khan was also eating and posed for a picture.

The onlooker said: “The group were having a whale of a time and the drinks were flowing.

“At one point, guests are invited to smash plates on the floor.

“It is always a highlight and the crowd are usually well inebriated at this point.

“It was no different this time and, amid the chaos, the youngest Rooney kid threw a plate across the table frisbee-style and caught him right between the eyes.

“There was no malice but it caught Wayne smack in the middle of his forehead.”

Roo was seen using a napkin to dab the blood in footage taken seconds after he was hit.

The witness added: “It must have hurt like hell but it was a complete accident. He didn’t want little Cass to see his upset, and they had a cuddle.

“As soon as it emerged he wasn’t seriously hurt, the entire table exploded in laughter.”
