Arizona police are searching for a man, who is reportedly wearing a mask and threatening kids, according to local reports.

In an incident occurred on Wednesday after in Glendale last week, near 67th and Glendale avenues. Police said that they got a call at around 1:45 local time. Reaching to to the scene of incident two kids re-called their encounter with a tall man, thin build, who hopped over a fence into the San Martin Apartments.

The initial reports indicated that the suspect was also carrying an axe. Police officers did find a mask and an axe in a nearby field. A search operation was conducted, but no suspect was caught and no kids were hurt.

Early reports suggested that the suspect was wearing a clown mask, but after Glendale Police released photos, it appears more to be like a Guy Fawkes mask.

The Glendale Police Department’s Sgt. Scott Waite said: “We were able to locate the mask and the axe, but unfortunately, we weren’t able to apprehend any suspects.”

Police later sad that this was actually the second report of a masked man in the area this week.

“We definitely are concerned that there’s possibly someone out there trying to hurt children,” Waite said.

“My son came home crying, saying some guy was chasing him, apparently it was with a clown mask,” said Greg Altman, who lives at the complex with his two young sons. “I was just worried about my kids being outside while this is going on.”

“These apartments are supposed to be meant for our children to play and they can’t even go outside and play,” said Jennifer Moody.

The Glendale Police Department said once the suspect is caught, they will likely face aggravated assault charges.
