Suspicious clown

A woman walking back from the Riverside T station told police Monday she was followed by a man who was wearing clown make-up, a plaid shirt, jeans and a rainbow wig, reports said.

The woman told police she was walking to Hancock Avenue and when she walked by 275 Grove St., she was approached by the suspicious male who was riding a small bicycle.

Reports said the man asked her where Waltham was, and when she didn’t respond, he repeated loudly “Where’s Waltham?” The man then got off the bicycle and started walking toward the woman in an aggressive manner, police said.

According to reports, the woman saw the same man on the train earlier talking to younger girls. Waltham Police, Lasell Police and Transit Police were all notified.

More “Urban Development” soliciting

A man was found soliciting magazines for Urban Development near the intersection of Dedham Street and Upland Avenue Tuesday night, police said. The man was asked to stop, reports said, as Urban Development is not registered for soliciting in the city.

This is the second instance of Urban Development soliciting police have reported in the last week.
