Man gets €10k after colleague shaves off eyebrow

A PROPERTY manager visiting Cork for a Christmas party woke up in a car outside a pub to find that his head had been shaved along with one of his eyebrows and yesterday he was awarded €10,000 in compensation for his psychological trauma.

“It was highly embarrassing, it did not really suit the image I would like to portray,” David Madden testified yesterday at Cork Circuit Court, where he wore a shirt and tie and navy pinstripe suit.

Adding to the embarrassment for Mr Madden, who was 26 years old at the time, he was about to meet his girlfriend’s parents and family for the first time that Christmas and had to do so with a shaven head and one missing eyebrow.
