A 15-year-old girl from Wilmington faces multiple charges after attacking two people with scissors at a hair salon on Sunday afternoon, according to Delaware State Police.
Officers were called to Fransiah African Braids on North Market Street around 4:30 p.m. on June 7, 2026, following reports of a stabbing incident. Investigators determined the teenage customer became dissatisfied while getting her hair braided at the establishment.
According to police, the situation escalated when the girl began throwing objects around the salon before grabbing scissors from her stylist and going into a bathroom. When she came out, she threatened the hairdresser with the scissors, leading to a confrontation that ended with the teen attacking and stabbing the salon worker repeatedly.
Another person at the salon tried to stop the attack and hold down the teenager but was also stabbed in the process. Emergency responders took both injured victims to a nearby hospital where they were treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Police officers found the suspect outside the hair salon and arrested her without any problems. She was processed at Troop 1 and appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 11, where she received a $10,100 secured bond and was placed in the custody of the Department of Services for Children Youth and Their Families.
The charges against the teenager include:
- Assault Second Degree (Felony)
- Aggravated Menacing (Felony)
- Assault Third Degree
- Disorderly Conduct
