Clowns are meant to make people laugh, not scared, but a so-called “creepy clown” craze swept the USA, UK, Australia and now Brazil. People are dressing as scary clowns and pranking others.
Police arrested a student at a university because he was running around with a real chainsaw. He said that it was just “fun”, but some people do not like this. They think that clowns should be funny, not scary. Something could go wrong and someone could get really scared.
The craze started in the USA but it is becoming popular around the world. Police in the UK are asking people not to get involved.
