A Singaporean man was getting a haircut at a hair salon at Paradigm Mall in Johor Bahru (JB) when two masked men entered the store, pelting the entire vicinity with red paint.
Customers splashed with paint too
Red paint was visible from the mirrors to the floor of Reds Hair Salon, and even customers were splattered from head to toe as well.
Speaking to Mothership, Douglas Ang shared that salon employees tried to stop the aggressors by shouting at them, but it didn't work. "I guess they are scared to approach them physically too," he said.
Approximately five customers were present in the salon when the incident occurred.
Ang added that they closed the store right after the men left. The employees bought paint thinner to help clean the paint off customers, and bought new clothes for those who had been splashed.
Police report made
Ang said that two salon employees had gone down to the police station to make a report right after the incident.
In response to Mothership's enquiries, Reds Hair Salon confirmed that business has resumed as per norm and the store has made a police report.
