Press (Woman Stabs Hairdresser) Pictured: A video grab of the moment La?s Gabriela Barbosa da Cunha stabs a hairdresser in a hair salon. A woman has been arrested after allegedly stabbing a hairdresser over a ?bad haircut?. Shocking CCTV footage shows La?s Gabriela Barbosa da Cunha hovering over the stylist while he was working on another client. With his back turned, she pulled a knife from her handbag and stabbed him between the shoulder blades. Two men immediately sprang into action and restrained Da Cunha as Eduardo Ferrari spun around in shock. Realising what had happened, he ran towards the exit in panic. The attack took place in S?o Paulo, Brazil, on Tuesday (5 May), as reported by NeedToKnow. However, the dispute dates back to 7 April, when Da Cunha, 27, visited the salon for a highlighting and texturising treatment. Staff said she appeared happy with the result when she left and even praised the procedure on social media. Days later, however, she began sending complaints to the salon, demanding a refund and allegedly saying she wanted to ?set fire? to Eduardo, 29. Da Cunha was told there would be no refund because the procedure had been carried out ?as agreed?, but the complaints continued. Online, she claimed the treatment had left her looking like the comic-book character Jimmy Five, known in Portuguese as Cebolinha. In a video, she said: ?He took my hair and just hacked away at it with thinning scissors. As you can see, my fringe looks like Cebolinha?s.? When she turned up unannounced at the salon on Tuesday, she demanded an immediate solution. The building?s doorman was called to help remove her because she was causing a disturbance ? moments before the stabbing took place. After the attack, one employee managed to disarm her. Eduardo later underwent an examination, which found the wound to be superficial. Staff later told police that Da Cunha shouted Eduardo ?would die one way or another? if she was not refunded and allegedly threatened to hire someone to kill him. She reportedly confessed to the attack and admitted making homophobic insults towards Eduardo beforehand. Eduardo later said in a statement: ?Our legal team is following the case closely and taking the necessary steps, as the police classified the incident as minor assault. ?We cannot normalise or remain silent about situations like this. Attempted murder is an extremely serious crime and must be treated accordingly. ?We will also be carrying out a full review of our security arrangements, including looking for new premises with stronger security and better protection measures to ensure the safety of Edu and our entire team.?
