According to AOL News
It was a bad hair day in Texas when a man was beaten and robbed after trying to take a picture of a stranger who had a wild triple-mohawk haircut according to AOL news report.
A man in Austin snapping photos of "anything that was remotely interesting or unusual" told police that he ran into trouble when he turned his camera on the stylized hairdo of Johnathan Washburn, 23, last week, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
Johnathan Washburn, 23, allegedly hit a man on the head with a skateboard after he took a picture of his bizarre triple-mohawk hairstyle -- landing him in police custody.
the unique hairstyle is a combination of a punk rocker's traditional mohawk mixed with the notorious tufts worn by Flock of Seagulls frontman Mike Score.
Washburn's companion, Timothy Beard, 19, ordered the photographer to delete the picture of Washburn's one-of-a-kind hairstyle, according to an affidavit. But the shutterbug refused to erase the photo of Washburn's three-pronged blond-and-brown Mohawk.
