Police called to Ross Bay Cemetery after a unicorn-masked man was seen chasing another person with knife

Just when they thought they had seen it all.

Victoria Police had no idea of what to expect when they received a call of a man with a knife chasing another person around Ross Bay cemetery while wearing a unicorn mask.

While a couple were walking along the Dallas Road waterfront, it appeared trouble was brewing in Ross Bay Cemetery.

At around 7 p.m., the 911 Communications Centre received a call from a concerned citizen. The caller reported that a man was being chased through Ross Bay Cemetery and appeared terrified. The man was being chased by a seemingly mystical equine/human hybrid, armed with a knife. In other words, one man was chasing another through Ross Bay Cemetery wearing a unicorn mask and carrying a large hunting knife.

ā€œSometimes, unfortunately, we get calls that can be described as fanciful at best, erring on the side of caution, we always respond to the situations as though they are exactly what callers are reporting them to be.ā€ police spokesman Bowen Osoko said in a statement.

ā€œIn this case, the call was exactly as described.ā€

Officers arrived to find one man, wielding a large, black, hunting knife over his head, wearing a unicorn mask, while another man was frantically attempting to avoid this first man, by getting into his vehicle. Officers approached with great caution and issued commands for the unicorn-masked male to drop his weapon.

Both men complied with officers commands and quickly revealed that they were, in fact, attempting to make a ā€œfunny videoā€.

Two Victoria men in their early 30s explained their intent to officers and were both understanding and apologetic for the unintended impacts of their actions.

With the unicorn unmasked, no charges were laid, no unicorn tears were collected and all was once again tranquil on the shores of Ross Bay.
