David Davis, 20, of New Haven has been arrested for slashing another man in the back with a pair of scissors. Unfortunately, this happened to be while Davis himself was mid-haircut, and he didn't have time to get it finished before he was arrested and charged with first-degree assault.
Davis was getting his hair cut in a Stamford, CT apartment when another man he had previously argued with in the building approached him. Davis believed the man was going to attack him, so he picked up a pair of scissors and slashed the victim in the back. The victim is expected to recover from the injuries, but it's unclear how long it will take Davis to recover from the embarrassment of having a haircut that looks like the mating dance of a Bird of Paradise.
