I guess he doesn’t like older ladies. Maybe he has a mean one at home?
A 41-year
-old man stormed a beauty salon and bludgeoned four grandmothers with a hammer, fracturing one’s skull, before making off with less than $90, police said.
A police investigator enters the salon where the attack took place.
Thomas Leyshon III, of Mountain Top, was arrested after a daylong manhunt Friday.
The women, ages 56 to 76, did not resist but were beaten anyway, witnesses said. At least one required surgery.
“It takes a coward to go after some old women,” said Andy Chopka, grandson of victim Jeanna Chopka.
Authorities allege Leyshon attacked a co-owner of Hairem Family Hair and Nail Care while demanding money from the register and the women’s purses.
