Man stabbed after haircut gets him mistaken for a neo-Nazi

This Colorado man is avowedly not a neo-Nazi. But he believes his long-on-top, buzzed-on-the-sides haircut got him mistaken for one — and nearly stabbed to death by a confused anti-fascist.

Joshua Witt, 26, escaped his brush with hairdo-doom with a defensive slice to the hand and three stitches.

“Apparently, my haircut is considered a neo-Nazi statement,” he told The Post Saturday, as his account on Facebook garnered 20,000 shares.

Witt says he’d just pulled in to the parking lot of the Steak ’n Shake in Sheridan, Colo., and was opening his car door.

“All I hear is, ‘Are you one of them neo-Nazis?’ as this dude is swinging a knife up over my car door at me,” he said.

“I threw my hands up and once the knife kind of hit, I dived back into my car and shut the door and watched him run off west, behind my car.

“The dude was actually aiming for my head,” he added. “I was more in shock because I was just getting a milkshake.”

Witt says he has no tattoos or regalia that would finger him for a fascist. His pals are messaging him on Facebook with the only rationale they can come up with: “They say it’s my haircut.”

He’s thinking of changing his look, he says.

Many Freepers don’t realize this type ambush will happen to them if Obama and Sorus are allowed to continue

I've wondered about the guys who have lost/are losing their hair....will they now be identified as skin heads?

It's not a look I particularly like, but a ton of athletes have this kind of haircut. This is ridiculous. Neo-Nazi a**h***s are a tiny fringe group that have no impact on anything. Their most important function is being used by Democrats to give the impression that white supremacy activism is a large and dangerous movement. Guy gets stabbed because of his haircut. Pathetic. What a tolerant group ‘progressives’ are.

Doesn’t that Steak and Shake have a drive-up?

Try that with me and he’ll get introduced to Mr P-90.

Sheridan is close to Denver. There is no shortage of wackos, criminals or college students in Denver.

Big white car with the black on the bottom. Ridin' on the backs of them black tires, grinding them into the pavement. Use 'em up and throw 'em away. Watch yo azz.

Reason enough to “Cut yo Azz!”

Well, looks like I’ll be breaking out the hair clippers today.

I know right? Yeah, it IS getting that stupid. Hopefully the haircut guy can sue the perp or some org he/she is affiliated with.
