On Tuesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation that repeals provisions of law prohibiting the practice of barbering on Sunday. That s right, up until Tuesday it was actually illegal for barbers and hairdressers to work Sundays It’s not splitting hairs to say that barbers should be able to work any day they want.

The incident is said to have occurred at approximately 7 PM. Being that we re right in the middle of summer, that means the alleged assault happened in broad daylight.
The woman was pumping gas when she was approached and grabbed by a man described to be approximately six feet tall with a thin build and of African American descent. At the time of the alleged assault, the man was dressed in a black hoodie with a black face mask, denim shorts, and what appeared to be black shoes, possibly with a white backing.
