IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. – Authorities say a San Diego County barber has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after slicing the neck of a man he was shaving with a straight razor.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Leonel Gurrola says 22-year-old Daniel Flores was working at Vic’s Barbershop Monday in Imperial Beach when he slashed several times at the throat of 33-year-old Timothy Paul Vaughn then walked out, leaving Vaughn badly bleeding.
Gurrola says Flores was arrested without a struggle near his aunt’s house in San Diego later Monday and jailed. It’s not clear whether he’s hired an attorney.
Vaughn was hospitalized and is expected to survive.
Witnesses say there was no argument before Vaughn was cut.
Sheriff’s officials did not say what prior relationship the men may have had or elaborate on a possible motive.
