Bizarre moment weirdo ‘killer clown’ taunts cars from the middle of a town ROUNDABOUT

THIS is the bizarre moment a ‘killer clown’ taunts motorists from the middle of a ROUNDABOUT.

The creepy character loomed at drivers and chased after cars during the incident on Tuesday evening.

Motorists are forced to slow down and stop to avoid colliding with the prankster in Anstey, Leicestershire.

At one point he chases one small white hatchback around the roundabout a number of times.

Eyewitness Melissa Hadfield caught the “idiotic” behaviour on camera and alerted the police.

She said: “I was coming out of a meeting I heard shouting and saw a man dressed as a clown jumping in front of cars. I immediately called the police.

"I then filmed him for a couple of minutes. He then went into the Coach and Horses pub, where he took his mask off.

"He then came back out later but had put it on again so I couldn't see his face and carried on.

"After that, he got in his car and drove off."

Melissa said that despite reporting it to the Police, they closed the case.

She added: "I'm not sure why they did because they had his number plate and could have checked CCTV.

"I thought I would've seen more at the weekend but that's the only time I've seen anything.

"I wasn't scared or anything, I just thought it was idiotic."

It’s the latest in an increasing number of incidents of the frightening new craze that has been imported from America.

The Sun today told how a mum-of-six claimed a knife-wielding clown tried to snatch her three-month-old baby.

Leah Newton, 32 she was confronted by a man wearing a clown’s mask as she left a birthday party at The Top Club in Huddersfield, West Yorks, at around 11pm on Friday.

She says the kidnap bid was only thwarted when the alleged kidnapper couldn’t get the child’s baby seat out of her car.

Cops have investigated scores of incidents across the country and have warned that people could be arrested if they celebrate Halloween by dressing up like a killer clown.

Drivers in Manchester were startled to see two clowns running at their cars on Sunday, and a mum-of-two was left with terrified children after one jumped on her car.

The Sun revealed last week that the teenage son of an England football star has been suspended from his private school for making “killer clown” threats to other kids.

The lad was ringleader in a sick social media stunt that caused eight schools to be evacuated. Police were called in.
