Creepy clown hysteria spreads to Britain

London

THERE was the student who spread terror this week by running across the campus of Brunel University in west London dressed as a killer clown and wielding a chain saw.

There was the creepy clown in Leicestershire, in the Midlands, who frightened a resident strolling through a cemetery next to a school. The clown was brandishing an axe, according to a Facebook post accompanied by a blurry photograph.
