Unfortunately, he didn't escape the barbershop in the nick of time... in fact, a Madison, WI man got a nicked ear and a bad haircut at Ruby's Salon, according to the Associated Press. The customer had asked for a fairly simple haircut: He wanted the sides of his head shaved with a number two clipper, and an inch of hair cut off the top. What he got was something completely different.
First, the customer said his ear was intentionally snipped by the barber, Khaled A. Shabani, 46. As his ear began to bleed, Shabani put the zero attachment on his clippers and shaved a severe, bald line right down the middle of his customer’s head, according to a police report.
As the customer fled, Shabani is said to have repeatedly called out: “You want a zero, right?”
The customer told police that before the attack Shabani had accused him of fidgeting and moving too much, and then started twisting the customer’s ear, police said.
After the customer left the salon and called the police, Shabani was arrested for mayhem and disorderly conduct while armed.
“While it is not a crime to give someone a bad haircut, you will get arrested for intentionally snipping their ear with a scissors,” Joel Despain, a spokesman for the Madison Police Department, said in a statement.
Shabani told police it was an accident, according to the police report.
The 22-year-old victim shaved his head elsewhere to match the streak Shabani allegedly gave him, police said.
