Danny Cooper, 26, was waiting outside the golden arches near his home in Wallasey with his nine-month-old son, Bob, while his partner went inside. The dad said he suddenly felt something hit his back and realised it was a pigeon spike which he claims had fallen from the roof of the fast-food restaurant, the Liverpool Echo reports.
