By Chris and Rosie Feb 17, 2021 In Boston, a barber is lucky to be alive after he accidentally stabbed himself in the chest with his own pair of shears. Steve Silva was cutting Max Cohen's hair when he tripped and fell on top of his scissors. He was apparently walking around the back of the chair when he all of a sudden fell to the floor. The man getting his haircut then noticed blood. Steve said, ‘oh my God, I stabbed myself' and pulled the scissors out of his chest. The freak accident happened at Boston Barber & Tattoo Co.'s. Max says he talked to Steve until first responders arrived. The Boston University freshman credits his quick thinking to some emergency training he took in high school which involved keeping his barber calm.
