An unlikely beat down was caught on video after a man dressed as the terrifying clown from the horror movie IT was jumped by group of kindergartners, who were seen tackling the man to the ground and then punching him.

The group of kindergartners was gathered inside the gymnasium at the school, identified only by the words 'Wildcats Nation' painted across the wall, sometime over the Halloween weekend.

As the kids run around and play, a man donning a Pennywise the Clown mask - complete with over-sized yellow pants, colorfully striped shirt and a brightly colored red wig - announces his terrifying presence with arms outstretched to the ceiling as he runs to approach a small child.

A chorus of high-pitched screams can be heard as the man menaces the kindergartners, many of whom were wearing Halloween costumes of their own.

Suddenly, one brave kid literally jumps into action while drop-kicking and tackling the clown to the ground, where the rest of the children then join in punching and beating the downed man. 

The viral video had more than 52,000 views and counting on WorldStarHipHop as of Wednesday evening. 

Comments on the video ranged from surprise to disappointment, and also to support for the children, who wasted no time in jumping into action to attack what they likely believed to be a killer clown.

'That kid came out of nowhere,' one person said of the first kid who tackles the hapless clown to the floor.

'Shortest horror movie in history,' another person commented of the 24-second clip.

'These kids shouldn't even know what “It“ is about... but some ppl [sic] let their kids watch (whatever),' a critic offered, alluding to the R-rating for the 2017 film starring Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd as Pennywise the Clown, which in itself was a remake of the classic 1990 Stephen King horror movie.

'Even as kids, if we unite we are stronger than the enemy...,' a third person commented in support of the kids.

'Snatched his clown wig off and everything..' a different commenter wrote.

'He thought he was crashing the party but the party crashed him lol,' another commenter posted.

Clown masks and costumes have become quite controversial in schools nationwide following incidents over the years.

In 2014, a 14-year-old boy dressed in a clown mask terrorized students in a North Carolina middle school lunchroom, with students screaming and running from the lunchroom to get away, according to WBTV

School officials found the boy waving a 12-inch butcher knife and wearing the creepy clown mask. When a responding officer asked the student to drop the knife, he continued to wave it in his right hand, the outlet reported. 

'Snatched his clown wig off and everything..' a different commenter replied, with the costumed man seen wigless in the photo above

The officer said he had to strike the student in the forearm three times with his baton before finally getting him to drop the weapon.

A second butcher knife was found inside the boy's backpack.

The unnamed student was charged with possession of a weapon on school property, going armed in terror of the public, assault with a deadly weapon and communicating threats. 

Two years later in 2016, a 12-year-old Michigan girl was removed from MacDonald Middle School after she was found wearing a clown mask and threatening her classmates, and she had two knives in her backpack, according to Fox 47 News.

That same year, schools in an Ohio district were closed for a day after a woman reported being attacked by a male dressed as a clown. The woman told police that her attacker also made a threat against students.
