An old male attendant at a beauty supply store in New York was assaulted by three women after he caught them stealing $87 worth of wigs.
The incident, which happened over a week ago at My Hair and Beauty at 168-24 Jamaica Ave. in Queens, NY, was captured on surveillance video.
According to the police, the 57-year-old sales attendant reportedly caught the women from walking off with the unpaid merchandise and tried to stop them at around 2:50 p.m. on October 23.
