The Burlingame Daily News reports: "A man who runs a barber shop out of his home in unincorporated Redwood City was pistol-whipped and robbed by two young men Wednesday night, according to sheriff's officials.
Gilardo Mendoza, 43, suffered a head wound after the incident at his home on the 500 block of Hurlingame Avenue in the North Fair Oaks neighborhood, said Lt. Ray Lunny of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities said two men ages 19 to 21 entered Mendoza's home sometime before 7:50 p.m., hit him in the head with a .22 caliber semiautomatic pistol and stole a wallet from either Mendoza or his customer.
Mendoza was treated at the scene and taken to Stanford Hospital. His customer, 37-year-old Omar Castillo of Redwood City, was uninjured.
Lunny said the robbers did not fire any shots and may have left in a van.
Lunny did not know if the barber shop was being run legally.
The first suspect was described as a thin Hispanic man with short hair, 20 to 21 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall and wearing blue jeans.
The second suspect was described as a Hispanic man, 19 to 20 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall and wearing a brown hat and a brown sweater.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Detective John Sabel at 650-780-7656, Detective Josh Chilton at 650-780-7116 or the sheriff's office's anonymous tip line at 1-800-547-2700.
