Romeo's bleeding!

Romeo Beckham was rushed to hospital on Monday with blood gushing from his head after falling over on a shopping trip.

David and Victoria's youngest son needed two stitches to his forehead after stumbling at the bottom of an escalator.

The horror happened in Madrid as one-year-old Romeo and brother Brooklyn, four, were taken out by David's mum Sandra, 49.

Posh and Becks dashed to be with Romeo and spent 70 minutes at a hospital in the city while doctors treated him.

England skipper Becks, 28, rushed there after leaving a training session.

Sandra called him on his mobile to tell him about the accident.

Then she rang Victoria, 29, who was at a five-star hotel in the centre of the Spanish capital where the family have been staying.

Romeo tripped and tumbled near the base of an escalator at an El Cortes Ingles department store.

A family friend said last night: "Sandra took Romeo with her on a trip to the store.

"Romeo has only just started to walk so he is quite unsteady on his feet. As they came to the bottom of an escalator, he lost his footing, fell over and cut his head.

"There was quite a lot of blood.

"Sandra had two of the Beckhams' security guards with her and they drove Romeo to hospital.

"Sandra rang David and Victoria and they rushed to the hospital.

"Romeo needed two stitches to the side of his forehead but was allowed to go back to the hotel.

"David and Victoria were very concerned."

Last night all of the Beckhams were back at the Santa Mauro Hotel.

The family celebrated Romeo's birthday ten days ago at a party at the luxury hotel.

Beckham plays his first Champions' League match for Real Madrid tonight at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid against Marseilles on Tuesday.

Romeo's injury was sustained as the Beckhams stepped up efforts to protect themselves after a fan accosted Becks after a game in Spain.
