These clown stories are just flowering our inner fear of them. The latest clown issue comes from Sweden as a man was stabbed by another man who was wearing a clown mask.
The movie It is one I will never watch as I too have a fear of clowns. I’ve disliked clowns since I was a child-ask my parents. To hear that the clowns are all of a sudden out and scaring people makes me uncomfortable but this latest story out of Sweden is adding to the fear. A man was stabbed in the shoulder by another person wearing a clown mask.
“A man born in 1997 was stabbed in the shoulder by an unknown person who ran away,” Halland county officers said on their website following the Friday attack, AFP reports.
“We don’t want to see a situation where a person gets into real trouble because someone, perhaps half-joking, puts on a clown mask,” Sweden’s Interior Minister Anders Ygeman told the TT news agency.
Many schools and recently retail stores have begun to take down clown costumes and are banning them because of this emergence.
