Several Ohio schools have canceled classes after a clown-related attack.
Just hours after Colerain Township (Ohio) police arrested a junior high school student Thursday evening for an online clown-related threat, schools in Reading have canceled Friday’s classes for similar threats.
Around 4 a.m. Friday, a woman smoking on her porch claimed a man dressed in a striped outfit, a red wig and a white clown mask grabbed her around the throat. The victim told police that the clown immediately said, “I should just kill you now and ‘that some students and teachers would wish they were never born at the junior and senior high school today.’ ”
