A HERO has emerged from the shadows to battle “killer clowns” and reassure children.

Dad Garry Bedford works as a constructi­on site manager by day but takes on the clowns at night.

Children can phone Garry and a group of 12 volunteers for reassuranc­e, and he dons a £1,000 Bat Suit to show he means business.

The 47-year-old from Workington, Cumbria, said: “The kids are apprehensi­ve at first but at the end of the day they are very thankful.

“We put the Bat Phone up there to reassure people of the clown situation – that was really rewarding and really worked.”

Earlier this month, Garry appeared on This Morning via video to talk about his crusade.

Local mum Stephanie Dunford said: “My daughter is autistic and thought there was a clown in the garden. We made a call to Batman and it put a lovely smile on her face again.”
