A dispute over a child's haircut took a violent turn this week when a woman rammed her car into the barber, slamming him through the shop's glass storefront in Northern California, police said.
Officers responded to the Delta Barber Shop in Antioch shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday after receiving calls about a car crash at the business. When they arrived, a 63-year-old man was suffering from major injuries related to the crash and was taken to a hospital for treatment, authorities said.
The man, who was not identified, and witnesses told police the incident began as an argument over a haircut the barber had provided to the woman's son. The altercation escalated when the woman, identified as 28-year-old Ruby Delgadillo, got into her car and sped toward the man, striking him and knocking him through the barbershop's window, police said.
Delgadillo, a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area town of Brentwood, fled the scene with her son in a blue 2006 Toyota Prius, police said.
Authorities are still searching for Delgadillo. Anyone with information is asked to call the Antioch Police Department at (925) 778-2441.
