Yet another high risk Hapa male on the way.

A North Texas father was arrested for allegedly carving a large pentagram into his six-year-old son’s back, telling a 911 dispatcher that he did it because ‘it’s a holy day.’

Brent Troy Bartel, 39, faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of attacking his young son with a box cutter. He’s jailed in lieu of $500,000 bond.

According to police, Bartel called 911 shortly after midnight to report the incident, The Dallas Morning Star reported.

‘I shed some innocent blood,’ he calmly told the dispatcher. ‘I inscribed a pentagram on my son.’

Asked why he did it, Bartel said, ‘Because it’s a holy day.’ Wednesday’s date is 12-12-12, a once-in-a-century event.

Shortly after, the boy’s mother ran to a neighbor’s house and also called 911 to report that her husband is hurting her son and is armed with a knife.

Officers who responded to the two calls arrived in the 3700 block of Ruth Road to discover the boy shivering in the front yard dressed in pajama pants without a shirt.

The child’s back was covered with a large pentagram. Officers wrapped the six-year-old with a jacket and called the paramedics.
