Son stabs father over haircut

This is a weird one.

Shawn O'Hara, a 15-year-old high schooler in Deltona, Florida, did not want to get a haircut. But his father said he had to.

So the kid did what any teen would do in this situation. He threw a bag of seashells at his dad, and then stabbed him in the hand with 10-inch sword.

Shawn said that he was afraid his dad, William O'Hara, was going to hit him, and he wasn't upset that his father was hurt "because he gave him more than one warning to stay away," according to the News Journal (quoting a police report).

There has to be more to this story, right? Stabbed in the hand over a haircut? Really? Seems extreme but I guess stranger things have happened. The son has been charged with "aggravated battery causing bodily harm/disability" and is in a juvenile detention center. The father is hurt but not, as far as I know, severely.
