Hairy business
Kyle Whiting was having a trim at Haron Barbers in Warrington, Cheshire, England when he looked through the window and saw a policeman being beaten on the street. The 32-year-old jumped out of the chair, dashed out of the shop with the barber’s cape still draped around his shoulders. He wrestled the perp off the cop and held him until the officer had time to handcuff the suspect. Mobile phone footage of the incident was shared on social media, with people praising the “barbershop Batman”, “haircut hero”, and “caped crusader.” Kyle, whose sister is a police officer, said he was only there by chance after taking his girlfriend to the nearby Warrington Hospital. He said he realized something was amiss when he noticed the barber becoming distracted by a commotion flaring up outside.
He said: “Before you know it, my barber had taken his phone out and had gone up to the window and started recording. “I then saw the guy outside swing for the police officer and throw him down on to the ground. I thought, ‘I’m not sitting back and watching this.” Kyle said he was thinking of his sister and felt it was about “putting yourselves in other people’s shoes. If that was my sister, I would hope somebody wouldn’t hesitate to help her if she was on her own,” he said. “So before you know it, I’ve run out of the door.” Another officer and members of the public soon arrived to help – leaving Kyle able to return to the barber’s chair for his chop to be finished. Coincidently, Kyle later saw the police officer sitting next to his girlfriend in the emergency room, waiting for an X-ray on the broken finger he had received. Cheshire Constabulary thanked Kyle for his support during the incident.
Really big hairy customer
Customers at a hair salon in Nanyang, China got quite the surprise when an unexpected guest burst through the front door: An adult cow. The video below was recorded at the barbershop in Nanyang, Henan Province, shows the cow pushing the door open and running into the shop, bumping into multiple pieces of furniture and sending customers in their salon capes rushing for the door. People inside the shop began worrying when they saw the white cow approaching the door and jumped to their feet when it easily swung the door open with its head. The cow promptly stampeded into the store and began knocking things over before settling in the back corner of the room. Once there, it refused to come back toward the front and repeatedly looked at itself in the mirror, even bumping its head into the reflection. The cow eventually calmed down and stood placidly at the counter, awaiting capture. The cow was reported to have become agitated while being loaded into a truck and fled from its owner, ending up inside the shop. The cow’s owner was fined about $137 for failing to control the animal.
