Here’s a story that would never happen in America, at least not in our pro-gun States.
A GUN-toting clown is being hunted by police after terrifying several pedestrians in Melbourne’s north-western suburbs.
Four people have now come forward to say they were threatened by the man wearing a clown mask across St Albans and Sydenham during a bizarre 30-minutes early on Tuesday morning.
The clown was a passenger in a car, possibly carrying four other people, which slowed to a crawl past their victims.
He then leaned out of the front passenger side window and screamed abuse while waving the gun at them.
On one occasion the clown got out of the car and walked towards his victim, but ran off when another car disturbed him.
No one was hurt in the incidents but Sgt Mark Guthrie, of Brimbank Crime Investigation Unit, said the victims were in shock.
“All the witnesses have described a weapon being pointed at them, a firearm, whether it is fake or not we do not know,” Sgt Guthrie said.
“All the incidents happened within half an hour and within 10 to 15km of each other. It was half-hour of madness but why they did it, I can’t put my finger on it.
“It was very scary for those involved, they all want them caught or for it to stop,” he added.
A woman told police she was walking along Overton Lea Boulevard, in Sydenham, when two men in a white car pulled over around 5.30am.
The passenger started to walk towards the woman when he was disturbed by another vehicle and fled the scene.
Minutes later, a 25-year-old man was approached by a light-coloured sedan in Adelaide St, St Albans.
The clown rolled down the window at a set of lights and threatened the pedestrian while he was waiting to cross the street before speeding away.
Another pedestrian was attacked on Collins St, St Albans, and then at 6am, a 31-year-old jogger was confronted by a man in a clown mask who aimed a gun at him from a car on Alfrieda St, St Albans.
Sgt Guthrie described the mask as a full white face mask with red hair, red lips and red nose.
Only one of the occupants of the car wore the face mask.
“Each incident only last a few seconds before the victim was able to flee, so no one got a really good look at the offenders,” Sgt Guthrie said.
“We also don’t have a numberplate, so I would be really interested to hear from anyone else who may have been a victim or saw a car acting erratically in the area or anyone who may have any information about the matter,” he added.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au
