She cut a little off the front — of the barber shop.
A livery cab driver lost control of her Toyota Highlander and plowed into a Bronx barber shop Saturday — injuring a boy outside, officials and witnesses said.
The SUV veered onto the sidewalk on White Plains Road near Watson Ave. at about 7:15 p.m., clipping the child before slamming into the Hustler’s Barber Shop.
“I heard a couple of booms, crashes (and then) a loud noise,” said barber Steve Brown. “The next thing I know I see the nose of that truck coming through the front door.”
The child was taken to Jacobi Hospital with a minor injury, officials said. The driver was not hurt. Cops were investigating Saturday night.
