Another Creepy Clown Encounter, This One At Texas State Univerity

SAN MARCOS, TX -- Another clown attack was reported late Tuesday, this one involving a Texas State University student who was chased and grabbed after waling outside a dormitory on campus.

The incident actually happened Monday at around 7 p.m., but wasn't disclosed until late Tuesday. The incident happened outside the dorm dubbed Bobcat Village Apartments at 1301 Aquarena Springs, a campus police spokesman told the Austin American-Statesman.

The woman fled the clown's clutches, and didn't require medical treatment.

A police spokesman described the suspect as donning a black-and-white striped jumpsuit and green wig. The suspect had painted white and black around his eyes, and he stands at about 6' 2" tall.

This is the latest creepy clown sighting that has occurred throughout the country and Texas. Several schools in the Austin area are having to contend with menacing people donning clown outfits or threatening messages to their email, purportedly written by a clown.

Anyone with information that might lead police to the suspect are asked to call the Texas State police at (512) 245-2805. Students wanted to be escorted on campus can call the Bobcat Bobbies at (512) 245-7233.
