Police called to knife-wielding 'unicorn' chasing man through cemetery

Police in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, say they’ve never seen anything like it. Officers were called to the Ross Bay Cemetery at around 7pm on Sunday night.

The man was apparently terrified. He was yelling. He was screaming. And of more concern, the man was being chased by a seemingly mystical equine/human hybrid, armed with a knife.



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. 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 “funny video”. 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.
