Clowns: Terrifying video shows evil clown on MOBILITY scooter as bizarre sightings hits Sheffield

THIS is the moment a creepy clown zoomed past some car salesmen as they saw the figure riding a mobility scooter on the streets of Sheffield.

The sighting is the latest in a string of clown spots in the UK, which seem to be following on from a craze in America.

This clown was seen heading south in Penistone Road, in the Hillsborough area of Sheffield.

It was seen, and captured on film, by staff at Martin Lee Car Sales.

It's unclear if the person is wearing a full clown outfit or if it was just a mask – which has a bald head and red tufts of hair.

People who are scared of clowns would find this one particularly menacing as it has speed on its side.
