'Killer clown' with a knife is seen following children to school...
The 'killer clown' phase started off in the US but seems to have reached the UK. Police have now started to issue warnings as they believe this to be part of a large prank.
The most recent clown incident in the UK was spotted in County Darham, when a man dressed as a clown jumped out on four children aged 11 and 12, while they were on their way to school (Hermitage Academy).
The neighbourhood sergeant Mel Sutherland stated "The children arrived at school understandably upset and distressed by this incident." She also included that "we do not think he intended to harm the children, and as far as we are aware, this is part of the prank." In my opinion, it seems that the police aren't taking these incidents seriously enough, they can't simply see someone carrying a knife in public as 'part of a prank' and more serious actions should be taken.
Stephen King tweeted "Hey, guys, time to cool the clown hysteria--most of em are good, cheer up the kiddies, make people laugh." He is known for instilling a fear of clowns into millions of readers with his character Pennywise.
