| Barry The Clown |
Police have appealed for witnesses after an incident yesterday that left a clown with a pie on his face.
Barry The Clown was entertaining at a children's garden party on Gash Road in Newstead when a cream pie was thrown into his face by one of the children, though by which one remains a mystery.
Staffordshire Police were called and detained the children for questioning. Under local laws, they can be held for 2 years without charge.
"We are determined to get to the bottom of this," police spokesman PC Barry Shanks said. "If any passers-by saw anything, now is the time to come forward. Clowns are people too and shouldn't be subject to these kind of calculated attacks. We are treating this as a hate crime."
Once the culprit is discovered, Barry The Clown plans on pressing criminal charges, and taking the case to a civil court to seek compensation.
