WILKES-BARRE, Pa. -
A 41-year-old man stormed a beauty salon and bludgeoned four grandmothers with a hammer, fracturing one's skull, before making off with less than $90, police said.
Thomas Leyshon III, of Mountain Top, was arrested after a daylong manhunt Friday.
The women, aged 56 to 76, did not resist but were beaten anyway, witnesses said. At least one required surgery.
"It takes a coward to go after some old women," said Andy Chopka, grandson of victim Jeanna Chopka.
Authorities allege Leyshon attacked a co-owner of Hairem Family Hair and Nail Care while demanding money from the register and the women's purses.
"This is a completely senseless act of brutality against women who were doing nothing more than spending a day at the beauty parlor," prosecutor David Lupas said. "These are ... the most vulnerable of victims."
Leyshon was being held Saturday on $100,000 bail. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer.
The victims were treated at hospitals for head and facial injuries.

I always carry when I visit the salon where I have my haircut. The owner (female) has been cutting my hair for years. She knows I carry. 0 -
Sometimes it's a pain in the ass to carry my weapon, but I do everywhere except where it's punishable by law AND they have a metal detector. 0 -
If my grandmother had been there, things may have turned out a little differently. She ALWAYS carried a little snub nose 38, and she knew how to use it.
Ask her about a license? License, I don't need no stinkin license, I have the RIGHT to protect myself. Nobody messed with grandma.0 -

Real men do not visit "salons". They either go to a real barber shop or cut their own hair. Don0 -

I don't want some stinking bad breath old barber cutting my hair. And I can't do it myself. So I go to a salon where a lovely 30 something woman cuts my hair. And before the cut, she washes my hair and gives me a scalp massage, all included.0 -
