$5 haircut blamed in stabbing

A West Side stabbing has blamed on an argument over a $5 haircut.

Police said a man was giving a 15-year-old boy a haircut Sunday night in the 4000 block of El Paso Street when he asked him for $5 payment. The teen refused to pay, and the pair began to fight, police said.

The victim told police the boy yelled at him and said, “I ain't gonna give you (expletive),” before he pulled out a knife and swung it at him, cutting the man's torso.

The teen was taken to a juvenile detention facility, and the victim was arrested on two felony warrants.
