She said she was pretty upset with him, so she took a few of the dreadlocks out of the container and began cutting them with scissors. She said her boyfriend then walked inside to find her cutting his dreadlocks, told her to stop, ran over to grab the scissors and pulled them away from her. He then took his dreadlocks, told her they were through and left the hotel. The woman then looked down to find that she had been accidentally cut on her right finger. Medic 11 arrived on scene and wrapped her finger up. The woman said her boyfriend did not intentionally cut her, nor did either of them even know she had a small abrasion on her hand.
