(Hürriyet Newspaper, 18 September 2023)













                The saying "hair on fire" gets too literal.

In Istanbul on 9 September, N.Ç. (52) rose from his seat on the ferry
approaching the Beykoz pier from across the Bosphorus in Sarıyer
and walked toward a young man named M.E.A. sitting further ahead in 
the ferry salon.  N.Ç. then took a cigarette lighter from his pocket and 
lit M.E.A.'s ponytail from behind (!). 

Surprised (to say the least!), M.E.A. tried to extinguish the flames with
his hand and then set upon N.Ç.  A fistfight ensued between the two 
until they were separated by other passengers.  Both N.Ç. and M.E.A.
were taken to the Beykoz police station, where M.E.A. filed a complaint
against N.Ç.

In his statement, N.Ç. "explained" that "I've experienced traumatic 
incidents in the past with long-haired people.  I'm getting psychological
treatment but I couldn't control myself because I didn't take my medicine."
(!)

N.Ç. was charged with "intentional wounding" and "insulting" but
he was released pending trial.
