Not many people would chase after four rogue lions in Grimsby – but this clown did.
And he did it armed with an ordinary dining chair.
Almost 30 years have passed since four lions escaped from Chipperfield’s Circus, on Burgess Street, Grimsby.
An unknown person reportedly “sabotaged” the lion cage in the Big Top, enabling the animals to make their escape.
The lions roamed the streets of Grimsby in March 1991 for more than an hour – terrifying everybody in their path.
