Narrative:
Passing through 17000 ft; we received a call from the flight attendant. He said he had hit his head and was bleeding. I took a look at him. He had a gash just over the bridge of his nose and bleeding profusely. I asked if he wanted assistance and he said yes. I declared a medical emergency. We went back into ZZZ. Medical personnel met us at the gate; treated the flight attendant and took him away on a gurney. The first officer flew the aircraft while I coordination with operations dispatch and ATC.
