DELTONA, FLORIDA — Florida police are warning creepy clown cosplayers to think twice before sneaking up on unsuspecting victims, who may just serve a can of whoop-ass in self defense. <br /> <br />The Volusia County Sheriff's Office put out the statement on their Facebook page after a getting wind of a suspicious incident involving a boy and a clown. <br /> <br />On Friday the 13th, the 11-year-old boy had been biking to school when a clown suddenly jumped out at him from some bushes. <br /> <br />When it looked like the perp was going to grab him, the boy whipped out a metal selfie stick and whacked the clown multiple times to defend himself. <br /> <br />Undeterred, the creeper began to chase the boy, but soon tripped and fell flat on his face, ultimately slinking back into the bushes from whence he came. <br /> <br />The boy didn't see any weapons on the clown, but went ahead and told a crossing guard and several teachers about his ordeal. <br /> <br />Deputies went back to the scene but didn't find the clown, who was described by the boy as 5 foot 9, about 230 pounds, with blue hair, a rainbow painted face, and red foam nose. <br /> <br />With October 31 just around the corner, you'd think people would be less bothered by creepy clown activity. But, guess even Halloween can't save the clowns now. <br /> <br />Y'all really need to blame IT on this one.
