What Causes Ear Bleeding After A Head Injury?

Hello Everyone,
My friend was met with an accident last night. He was wearing an helmet and so no head injuries were there. He was hit in the chin and nose. But later he was bleeding from.one of his ears. X-ray was taken and doctors said it is just a fracture in ear and asked to consult ENT specialist.

What I am worried about is, this ear bleeding is so serious to take an MRI scan?

Will it result in serious problems in the near future?
