A mum-of-four has told how she was approached by a stranger who cut off some of her hair as she waited for a bus in Manchester city centre after a night out. Police have confirmed an investigation is underway and revealed the worrying report was being treated as assault.
The Manchester Evening News can reveal a second report of a similar incident in Manchester, said to involve a separate woman, is also under investigation. Greater Manchester Police said they currently have no evidence to suggest the two reported cases are linked, but confirmed enquiries were ongoing.
Emma Clark, 32, who coincidentally works as a hairdresser, said the incident had left her traumatised and she won't travel on a bus again in Greater Manchester. She said she wanted to speak out to warn other women - and shared images with the M.E.N. showing long strands of her hair.
