Madison police say they arrested a hairstylist accused of snipping a 22-year-old customer’s ear.
Police spokesman Joel DeSpain says the victim told officers the hairstylist told him to stop fidgeting and moving his head before nicking his ear on Friday.
The stylist, Khaled A. Shabani, 46, then started to twist the customer’s ear.
A 22-year-old says he barber told him to stop fidgeting then gave him this haircut before clipping his ear
The stylist, Khaled A. Shabani, 46, was arrested on suspicion of mayhem and disorderly conduct- not for the bad haircut- but for snipping his customer’s ear with scissors
DeSpain says the hairstylist then ran the clipper with the shortest attachment down the middle of the customer’s head, ‘leaving him looking a bit like Larry from the “Three Stooges”,’ The Wisconsin State Journal reported.
DeSpain says officers arrested Shabani on suspicion of mayhem and disorderly conduct while armed.
DeSpain says Shabani told officers it was an accident.
‘While it is not a crime to give someone a bad haircut, you will get arrested for intentionally snipping their ear with a scissors,’ DeSpain said.
The customer left Ruby’s Salon on State Street and went to another barber shop, where he had the remainder of his hair shaved off.
He then went home for Christmas.
