What would you do?

Your getting your hair cut and some dude you don't know approaches you in an aggressive manner? And you have a pair of scissors on the table next to you?

Why, do you owe someone money??? I assume you mean by approaching that he is not speaking to you or has not identified you as the one he has a big problem with you. Since you don't know if the dude is coming after you or the person who's cutting your hair, or someone else, or is annoyed at himself for forgetting something he left there, I think grabbing a weapon is premature and unnecessary. I suppose you could make sure your arms/hands, legs are free in case you need to deflect a possible attack, but that's about it. He's gotta make a first move. And his walking in your direction is not a first move.

STAMFORD -- A 21-year-old man sitting down for a haircut allegedly grabbed scissors and slashed another in the back Tuesday in the South End, police said.

David Davis, of Cedar Hill Avenue, New Haven, was arrested shortly after the incident when Stamford patrol officers and a police dog found him in a nearby Henry Street apartment. Officers took him into custody when they initially found he was wanted on a warrant for failing to appear in court and later charged him in the stabbing after an investigation, Stamford Police Capt. Richard Conklin said.

The victim, identified as a 21-year-old Stamford man, was taken to Stamford Hospital to receive treatment for his wound. Davis is being held on $5,000 bond and is due in court March 22.

In a statement, police said Davis was getting a haircut at 126 Henry St. when the victim approached in what Davis called an "aggressive manner," so he picked up scissors to protect himself. Davis slashed the man in the back, police said.

Stamford Police Lt. James Matheny said the victim was wearing a heavy coat when he was stabbed so it was difficult to say whether the wounds were serious. He said there was a considerable amount of blood on the man's clothing.

Shortly after the stabbing, yellow police tape cordoned off the sidewalk of 124 and 126 Henry Street as residents remained on the sidewalk. Some yelled at police officers, saying officers searched their homes without a warrant.

Police officials at the scene said the door of 124 Henry St. had been open when they spotted Davis. Authorities also received an anonymous phone call that the stabbing suspect was in the home, police said.
