Clown terror spreads in France, another teenager arrested

French police warning against clown aggression Photo: French police say "any person, aggressive clowns or hunters of clowns, discovered in possession of a weapon ... will be arrested".

A 14-year-old dressed as a clown has been arrested near Paris for attempting to attack a woman, in the latest incident of fake, evil clowns terrorising passers-by in France.

Complaints have poured in recently over "armed clowns" wreaking havoc in various parts of the country.

There's been a few clown stories in the news here with people doing weird stuff dressed as clowns. Very odd.
lol wtf. Surprised the clown didn't get shot assuming it wasn't faked.

If I remember correctly, the clown vid I posted wasn't recorded in the US. I think in the UK, so no armed people on the streets.

Clown terror spreads in France, another teenager arrested
Police have detained several people dressed as the pranksters - some carrying pistols, knives and baseball bats.
A woman called the police, saying two clowns - one of whom was armed with a fake axe - had attacked her, a source said. They escaped when a passer-by armed with a baseball bat tried to stop them.
One of the pranksters was later detained when police spotted him, white make-up still covering his face.
In the town of Bethune, a 19-year-old received a six-month suspended jail term last week for threatening passers-by while dressed as a clown.
