A Briton, who slapped his 10-month-old son after he knocked down a photo frame, has been ordered to pay the baby 50 pounds in compensation, a media report said Thursday.
The 24-year-old man lost his cool when his son hit the TV while jumping up and down in his baby bouncer, Daily Mail reported. 
The court was told that a family photo was knocked to the floor and the father hit him across the face. 
The toddler's mother found the boy had facial injuries and finger marks on his cheek and she took him to a doctor who found the injuries were caused by a hand slap. 
The police were then called. 
Counsel Neil Lawson said the father admitted hitting his son when the mother returned home from work. 
"Instead of slapping his hand, he slapped him in the face," he was quoted as saying. 
The slap left two parallel lines around his eye and from his head to his left ear. 
Rachel Bentley, defending the accused, said the man was now estranged from his partner and son after the incident, which happened two days before Christmas, and he was "sorry". 
He was also directed to complete 60 hours of community service, be supervised for a year, deal with his anger management and pay the baby 50 pounds in compensation.
