Eight-year-old Oliver was briefly left alone when his mother and sister went out to buy groceries in Skara early on Saturday evening, local radio station P4 Skaraborg reports. Neighbours then looked on in horror as the boy jumped three metres into the courtyard to get away from the intruder. “He looks all around him to make sure there’s nobody behind him, it was very trying,” his mother told P4 Skaraborg. Oliver told the station he was most scared in the evenings “because that’s when the clowns come”.
