Man Rocks 'Half-Fro' During Barbershop Scuffle

In "how crazy is this?" news, a man was getting his hair braided at a Stamford, CT apartment when, during a confrontation, he grabbed scissors and slashed a man in the back. Apparently, 21-year-old David Davis fled the scene mid-hairdo, because when police arrested him soon after, he had a goofy "half-fro." One side of his hair was sticking up, while the other side with braided (very Ol' Dirty Bastard retro, no?). Davis is currently being held on $5,000 bail, while the victim was treated for the back wound. We're collectively shaking our heads at the ESSENCE.com offices. Let us know what you think of this story in the comments section!
