Victoria police say they’ve never seen anything like it.
Officers were called to the Ross Bay Cemetery Sunday night for a bizarre report of a man being chased by a person in a unicorn mask wielding a large hunting knife.
The man being chased was yelling and screaming, according to police.
“Sometimes, unfortunately, we get calls that can be described as fanciful at best,” police spokesman Bowen Osoko said in a statement. “In this case, the call was exactly as described.”
When officers arrived, they saw what appeared to be the man running away from his masked pursuer by getting into a car, Osoko said.
Officers instructed the masked man to drop his knife – and quickly learned the two men were just attempting to make a “funny video” in the cemetery.
Both men, in their 30s, apologized to the officers for causing distress, according to police.
No charges have been laid.
