A group of 30 women armed with curling irons and table legs beat a suspected armed robber until he collapsed at a beauty school in Shreveport, La., according to a Local 6 News report.
Police in Shreveport responded to a robbery call at Blalock's Professional Beauty College Tuesday after a 24-year-old man walked into the school, pointed a gun at an instructor and demanded cash.
The women overwhelmed Jared Gipson, 24, and beat him until he was bleeding on the floor, according to the report.
Gipson tried to escape but the women pulled him back into the building and continued the beating, police said.
"Oh, I put something on him, baby," school instructor Dianne Mitchell said. "He wasn't coming up out of here and telling nobody he robbed us and got away with it."
Gipson was transported to a nearby hospital in good condition but will need stitches, according to the report.
Gipson was charged with armed robbery
