WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN — A Brooklyn man who slammed his six-year-old son’s head into a metal table when the boy refused to eat his breakfast has been arrested, according to reports and court records.

Michael O’Brien, 37, became enraged while sitting with his son at the kitchen table in his home on Ainslie Street in Williamsburg on April 17, 2016, the Daily News reported.

O’Brien slammed the boy against the table with enough strength to cut a deep gash in his son’s head, according to the Daily News.
