Girl breaks arm in killer clown panic

- BY JEREMY ARMSTRONG and AARON SIMS

A NINE-year-old boy dressed as a “killer clown” and brandishin­g a knife brought terror to a public park, leaving one little girl with a broken arm.

The boy emerged from bushes as Casie Morrison, 10, played with her sisters.

The “clown”, around 5ft tall, drew a flick knife and ran. But as he pushed past Casie she fell off her bike breaking her right forearm at Witch’s Hat Park, in Yate, near Bristol.

Casie’s mum Kirsty, 36, said: “I dread to think what could have happened.”

Police were called but found the boy was nine and under the age of criminal responsibi­lity.

Last autumn, the killer clown craze sparked incidents across the UK.
