The police report goes further, saying the two men argued in the shop and Bennett admitted to starting a physical confrontation due to being upset about what the victim said about members of his family.
Witnesses told police that the victim was only pushed and fell to the ground, saying that he may have hit his head on the ground or a barber’s chair.
Bennett was placed under arrest after officers let him pay for his haircut, according to police, then he was taken to the Barrow County Detention Center for booking.
After Bennett was placed in the patrol vehicle, the barbershop owner asked police to bar the victim of the alleged assault from coming back.
Officers told the victim he was no longer allowed at the property once he was medically cleared to leave. Bennett was charged with one count of battery, according to arrest records.
