The Terrifying Clown On Melbourne Trains Has Been Found and Stopped… By His Dad


This morning, there were reports of an absolutely terrifying clown on Melbourne trains and in train stations. Some were utterly terrified, some felt threatened, some felt concerned about what was in the clown’s briefcase, and some thought it was just a joke. (It doesn’t sound like a joke to this writer, who may or may not have quite a serious clown phobia.)
A witness, Karen, came forward and said the clown ‘acted menacingly’ towards women:

“He slowly walked along the aisle until he got to the driver’s door, stood, stopped, turned around and just watched all of us — stared us all down. He didn’t say anything.
FUUUUUUUUUUCK. Terrifying, right?
Sort of. It has now come out that our terrifying clown was…  an extremely tall 14 year old. 
His father, who wanted to remain anonymous, came forward, explaining that his son had gone to clown school in the past, is a bit of a ‘prankster’, and didn’t “realise the impact he’d had on people.” The poor dad apologised to anyone affected, which included women who felt threatened and people who thought that the clown’s suitcase may have had something sinister inside. 
He also mentioned that today he had had “no less than four major discussions with [the boy’s] mother in regards to punishing him”, that the mask has been “thrown away”, and that he and his wife will be “grounding him until he’s 30“. 
Awwwwww.
