Video: “Killer clown” captured chasing car in Dundee

Footage has emerged of a “killer clown” chasing a driver in the Fintry area of Dundee.

The bizarre video clip shows a red-haired clown running after a vehicle, allegedly near the area’s Grampian Gardens.

Bemused passengers can be heard laughing as the clown struggles to keep up pace.

Instances of clown-related pranks around the UK have exploded in recent weeks.

Reports from across the country have claimed school children on their way to school have been threatened by masked men.

Last week, police were called to a Dundee park twice in two nights after locals were left alarmed by a group of youths.

And in England, officers from Thames Valley Police were contacted 14 times in 24 hours about instances of the strange phenomenon.
