In case you haven’t heard yet, “killer clowns” have arrived in the UK.

Based on a trend which started on college campuses in America, people around the UK have been freaking out and claiming they’ve seen terrifying clowns roaming their own streets.

After the arrest of a teenager dressed as a clown and carrying a knife in Newcastle last night, people are understandably scared – and a little bit confused. Here’s some of the internet’s best reactions to the clowns’ arrival in the UK…

Can these clowns come to the UK? Need some excitement in my life lol
