Man leaves barber shop to assist police officer being assaulted on street during haircut.

As Kyle Whiting sat in the barber's chair at Haron Barber's in Warrington, Cheshire, he never would have guessed that his routine haircut would turn into a heroic act. He was just minding his own business when he heard commotion outside and saw a disturbing scene unfold. A man at a bus stop was attacking a police officer, throwing him to the ground and holding him down.

Without hesitation, Kyle sprang into action. In a matter of seconds, he bolted out of the barber's shop, his cape - still tied around his neck - flapping in the wind behind him. He reached the pair and pulled the attacker off the officer, keeping a firm grip on him until other witnesses came to help.

Thankfully, another officer from a nearby marked police car and a second squad vehicle arrived on the scene to detain the assailant. The officer who was attacked suffered a broken finger and sore ribs, but was lucky to have Kyle by his side in the heat of the moment.

Kyle later shared with NeedToKnow, "I was just sitting in the chair, getting the back of my head shaved when I noticed the barber looking in the mirror for about 10 seconds. Suddenly, he rushed to the window to record the incident. Without thinking, I got up and ran outside to help."

He continued, "I am grateful to have been able to assist and even more grateful that no one else was hurt. My sister is a police officer and I know she would appreciate someone stepping in to help her in a similar situation, if it was safe to do so. No one should have to endure being punched in the face, unless you're Conor McGregor."

The heartwarming act of bravery was captured on video and shared by UK Cop Humour. They joked, "Not all heroes wear capes, but this one does. Let's take a moment to applaud this gentleman, who, mid-haircut, dashed out to aid a police officer. We need more people like him around."

It turns out, Kyle was keeping a watchful eye on what was happening outside because of his sister's profession. A spokesperson for the Cheshire Constabulary expressed their gratitude, saying, "Officers have thanked a member of the public for his support after an officer was assaulted in Warrington. The incident occurred on Lovely Lane and as the assault was taking place, a nearby hairdresser intervened to assist the officer. A 50-year-old man was arrested in relation to the matter and has since been taken into the care of health professionals."

Despite the unexpected turn of events, Kyle returned to the barbershop to finish his haircut. His selfless act of bravery serves as a reminder that there are still good people in the world who are willing to come to the aid of others in need.
