A MAN armed with a gun and wearing a clown mask has been terrifying Melburnians in a series of bizarre incidents.
There have been at least three cases of the clown following people in the western suburbs, a police spokeswoman said.
In each case, the masked man was in the passenger seat of a car while his driver hunted down pedestrians.
A woman told police she was walking along Overton Lea Boulevard, Sydenham, when two men in a white car pulled over on Tuesday about 5.30am.
The passenger, who was wearing a clown mask and armed with a gun, started to walk towards the woman when he was disturbed by another vehicle and fled the scene.
Minutes later, a 25-year-old man was approached by a light-coloured Toyota Camry sedan in Adelaide St, St Albans.
The man, wearing the same clown mask, rolled down the window at a set of lights and threatened the pedestrian while he was waiting to cross the street.
The clown and his driver then sped away.
At 6am, a 31-year-old jogger was confronted by a man in a clown mask who aimed a gun at him from a Mitsubishi Magna on Alfrieda St, St Albans.
Detectives are urging anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or http://ift.tt/1bQZeZd.
