'Like a horror movie': Creepy clown terrified train commuters in Australia
A person wearing a disturbing clown mask has boarded a train in Melbourne, Australia, and terrified commuters.
A passenger, known only by the name of Karen, called 774 ABC Radio on Tuesday morning to complain about her experience travelling from Ballarat to Southern Cross station on Saturday morning.
"I sat back expecting the usual relaxing trip ... when I got to Ardeer or Deer Park station a creepy looking guy got on the train wearing a suit. He appeared to be a young man, wearing an angry clown mask and carrying a suitcase."
...Then her journey took a turn for the worse.
Karen noticed from the shocked faces of those in front of her that the man dressed as a clown had walked from the third carriage to behind where she was sitting in the first carriage. He walked slowly to the front, turned around and "starred us all down."
...She said his appearance was "menacing towards young females,"
Colin Tyrus, a spokesperson for the company that runs the trains, V-Line, said the train's conductor had investigated reports of a masked man, but said it appeared he was "just minding his own business."
"There was no threat that the conductor could perceive from this particular gentleman," Tyrus told ABC radio. "People might have, I think it's called coulrophobia, a fear of clowns."
He said there were no regulations to stop the wearing of masks on public transport, but that there is an emergency button in every carriage if people are concerned about their safety.
