kids need to learn boundaries and removing him from the situation or giving a time out is not going to hurt him. He may seem like he's dying but he's not. You're not hitting him just showing him that behaviour is unacceptable. my son used to beat his head on the ground but we had to show him that was unacceptable by putting him in time out and then explaining to him why his behaviour wasn't working. Give it a try...if not things could become worse and i'm sure you don't want that!!
