WCPO-TV reported that Conley said someone dressed like a clown jumped a fence Saturday, waved a knife at her and cut her thumb.
No phone listing could be found for the Hamilton woman. It couldn’t immediately be determined whether she has an attorney, the AP reported.
There have been several recent reports nationwide of people having frightening encounters involving clowns. A report last week of a clown grabbing a woman by the throat and threatening Reading schools led to classes being canceled for the day.
A report last Friday in Reading to police, in an unrelated case, a woman claimed that a person dressed as a clown appeared on her porch and grabbed her by the throat while she was smoking a cigarette.
Reading police said the woman claimed that her attacker threatened students and teachers at the high school while attacking her. They did not say if the woman being attacked was a teacher or employee of the schools.
The incident prompted Reading Community City School District officials to cancel classes for the day.
