A man is facing jail time after he cut off his own hair and beard and tried to glue it to another man’s head in an apparent attempt to create a toupée.

The man, who is in his 40s, has already been convicted seven times and fined 13 times, mainly for ‘nuisance’ crimes in Hordaland county, Norway, said prosecutor Harald Bilberg.

But Mr. Bilberg said that on this occasion, the man claimed the recipient of the beard toupée had consented to the transplant.

‘He was bald, so the accused claims that they had agreed to create a toupée for the aggrieved party,’ he told Bergens Tidende.

‘I must admit that I have never encountered such a case in my career.’

The man is also being tried for a series of petty crimes including burglary and theft.

He was arrested again on Friday after breaking the restraining order imposed on him to protect the recipient of the beard toupée.
