Clown with machete scares residents and turns police case in Brazil

In 2016, we talked here at Mega Curious about the series of bizarre clowns that were freaking people out in American cities, remember?

We have also explained why so many people are afraid of clowns, and even though it even has a name (coulrophobia), there is not enough explanation to help us face clowns with less dread - much less, of course, when the situation arises. It is darker than normal.

In Blumenau, in the state of Santa Catarina, some people panicked when they came across a macabre clown walking the streets of the Bom Retiro neighborhood with a machete in their hands - yeah ... You can understand their scare, right?

Scare

The clown was spotted near a hospital around 9 pm on Thursday (30). According to one of the people who came across the citizen, in an interview with Jornal de Santa Catarina, he was walking his two-year-old daughter and the dog when he saw that the clown was approaching them with the machete in hand.

Cleverly, the resident signaled the Dutch Shepherd dog with an attack command, and the clown did not approach, but took off his mask and said it was all a joke, coming back from a party.

After calming the situation with the frightened resident, the clown-clad man ran and left, even because other people were looking for him, who had scared a woman a few moments before finding the resident with the dog. The Military Police were fired, searched, but could not find the individual.
