A funeral in Yonkers ended with a trip to the beauty salon that no one had in mind, after a heated argument turned into a scissor fight on Tuesday and left two people with minor cuts, according to Yonkers police. Officers said the clash involved four people near the intersection of Locust Hill Avenue and Palisade Avenue, and two of them were taken into custody. Both injured people were treated for superficial wounds, and authorities have not released names or detailed charges.
The scene
According to News 12 New York, the confrontation did not stay on the street. Witnesses said the scuffle spilled into Pearl Beauty Salon, where officers later described the injuries as superficial lacerations. The outlet reported that all four people involved knew one another and that officers were called to the block shortly after funeral services earlier in the day.
Arrests and investigation
As reported by Daily Voice Yonkers, police took two people into custody following the fight. Officials have not said who they are or whether any formal charges have been filed. As of Friday, investigators had not disclosed additional details, leaving it unclear how or when prosecutors might move forward.
Neighbors saw the fight spill into a salon
Santos Rosario, a witness cited by News 12 New York, said part of the altercation moved inside Pearl Beauty Salon. Residents described the moment as brief but chaotic, and emergency responders treated the injured at the scene.
What happens next
With no charges publicly announced, the case remains in the hands of Yonkers investigators and could be sent to the Westchester County District Attorney's Office if filings are made. Hoodline will update this story if police or prosecutors release more information.
