What Causes Reddish Flakes Coming Out From Urine?

My 12 year old son informed me that 3 times today he peed an red came out. He said it stings when he pees but no pain beyond that. I had him pee and it looked clear but when he started to pee a brownish flake came shooting out. A few to minutes later he had a little pee dripping and I saw the droplets looked pink. A minute after that he was touching his penis and a small reddish flake came out. No symptoms beyond these. I plan on taking him to the doctor within 12 to 14 hours (it is now almost 11 PM). What can this be and is it safe to wait until morning or should we go to the emergency room?
