A UK woman who was eight months pregnant prematurely gave birth after she was startled by a ‘killer clown’. The woman is said to be doing well after a 17-year-old frightened her as part of the bizarre craze.
The latest victim of the clown craze was reported on Facebook by a friend of the woman, who described the incident saying a “stupid 17-year-old kid” jumped on the mother-to-be dressed as a clown in Whitwick, Leicestershire.
“It's a nonsense craze that needs stopping,” she added.
Comments on the post show anger at the growing craze, which has left many petrified and threatening a violent response if a clown approaches them.
“Something needs to be done about this asap... the little bastards need their legs breaking!!!!” said one commenter.
“The person who jumped out needs prosecuting! I'm 38 weeks pregnant and petrified of clowns I think I'd die on the spot,” one woman said, threatening to press charges from beyond the grave.
‘Killer clowns’ have been spotted all over the UK in recent weeks following a worldwide craze in which pranksters dress as disturbing clowns in order to prey on people’s fears. Clowns have been spotted following people across dark car parks, emerging from bushes and chasing scared pedestrians.
There have been no injuries reported in the UK but as the craze grows clowns have been trying to outdo each other, sometimes brandishing weapons. Police issued a warning to pranksters that they could end up in jail after clowns reportedly armed with knives followed children to a school in Durham.

The wimps in Britain allowed themselves to be disarmed, but eventually, idiot clowns are going to start being ventilated in the US.
Creepy clowns...is there anything they can’t do?

I have seen some “pranks” on You Tube were a guy has a leather face mask and a chain saw in a parking garage. People get off the elevator and then he starts the saw and chases them all for a joke.
I am waiting until he does that to someone with a conceal carry permit.
I wonder if he will still think it funny after being shot (assuming he survives)?
Some of these “pranks” are down right dangerous.
What if the idiot jumped out at her dressed as a nun? A frog? An alien? A vampire? Or is it only clowns that send women into premature labor?
You mean Hillary forget again to put on her mask???
It could only happen in a society where people don’t have access to personal firearms. Killer clowns in the U.S. would be putting their lives on the line.
