Narrative:
A mother and her two kids flying together in first class. The son was operating his ceiling lights or air vents and when he sat back down on his seat his elbow hit his drinking glass sitting on the console and the glass broke/shattered to pieces cutting his arm. His mother alerted me the he was bleeding on his arm. I; put on some plastic gloves and we brought him to the forward lavatory and wiped his arm with wet and dry towels and then wiped it with sanitation wipes to clean off area. Then put 3 band aids over the cut then put a cloth towel and he held it on for a while. At the end of flight when taxiing to the gate I got up to check on him and he was ok. The band aids were on; and the mother was going to the airport clinic to see if anything more could be done or what I had already done was good enough.his arm hit his glass on the console which shattered cutting his arm around his elbow. Kids sitting in the first class seats should be served with the plastic cups and not the glass cups!
