SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A bizarre incident involving a clown on a bridge in Southwest Miami-Dade caused police to go a on brief search for the subject after a string of reports came in from the spooked drivers below.

It happened around 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, when a person dressed as a clown was caught standing on a pedestrian bridge over the Palmetto Expressway, near the Bird Road exit.

He was seen walking back and forth apparently holding a mallet and fidgeting with the American Flag as traffic passed underneath the bridge.

Drivers underneath the bridge were sick of the clown show and one of them yelled “get a job” to the clown.

Surveillance video captured the clown scurrying away off the bridge.

Some officers were dispatched to the scene, but the clown was gone by the time officers arrived.

It is unclear who that person was, or what exactly he was doing there.
