An Imperial Beach barber sliced his customer’s neck in the middle of a straight razor shave Monday, police said.
Cops arrested 22-year-old Daniel Flores on attempted murder charges shortly after the nightmare slashing at Vic’s Barber Shop, Fox 5 San Diego reported.
Witnesses said there was no fight between Flores and his customer, 33-year-old Timothy Paul Vaughn. Instead, the Sweeny Todd-like hairdresser cut the man’s throat during the shave, bolted from the store and fled to his aunt’s house, where police nabbed him.
Vaughn’s condition is not known, but he is expected to survive, police said.
Police did not detail the two men’s relationship: it’s not clear if Vaughn was a long-time client or a new customer. Investigators have not discussed a possible motive.
