CLOWNS ATTEMPT TO ROB MAN IN BERLIN
BERLIN: Two masked men in clown costumes have attacked and tried to rob a 25-year-old man in Berlin, police said on Saturday, the latest in a string of similar incidents across Germany. One of the men grabbed the victim from behind while the other threatened him with a stick. Both fled when the man managed to break free, police added. There has been a social media-fuelled wave of clown sightings in the US in recent weeks, and dozens of people have reported being stalked or attacked by clowns. – dpa
