IWANUMA —

A 13-year-old girl was attacked by a man who cut her hair with a pair of scissors in Iwanuma, Miyagi Prefecture, on Wednesday afternoon. According to police, the girl was playing with her dog in the garden of her house about 1 p.m. when a man approached her and asked for directions. When the girl moved closer, the man suddenly pulled out scissors and grabbed the girl’s head, cut off some hair above her right ear and then fled.

Police said the assailant was in his 40s, about 170 cms tall and wore a black sweater, cap and sunglasses.

some14some, I disagree. When I read the headline I understood it to mean that a man with some kind of hair fetish suddenly attacked a girl, which turned out to be the case.

The J-cops should start watching the local beauty salons and question anyone fitting the description seen collecting hair from the rubbish bins.

This creep could have been stalking this little girl for awhile. Maybe he finally decided to up the stakes and get a momento from her. The police and family needs to keep and eye on her.

This guy needs to be found and watched.

ditto. if this was a random act (not likely) good for the girl. if he was stalking her (most likely) then considering statistics, how many obsessed freaks give up after getting something from their victim? none? 0.1%? hope someone keeps a close watch on her. a big bro wouldn't be too bad.

What a scumbag this mentally ill 170cms tall 'Casanova' is. He does need a shrink, with lawn mover to cut down all his hair and than he should be given 'shock treatment.' Not very happy 'New Year' for this girl, and now she had free hair cut, I wonder what style would that be called. Don't be concerned girl, they will grow up again, and go to hairdresser often to avoid such incident again.

This is a serial guy, I'm convinced. It's been happening for a few years now, all along the route from West Aichi to the North. Same M.O., kinda like the kids who keep disappearing. Either that or just another loser with a scissors.

What a peculiar thing to do. I am onlt starting to learn about Japan, but there are so strange goings on that i didn't realise.

Why on earth would a grown man do such a queer thing as cut a girls hair?

Absolute madness, hope he's caught soon the weirdo.
