Steven Evans, a former soldier, approached pupils as they walked home while wearing the creepy mask and a farmer’s jacket. The 57-year-old ignited a police appeal as they tried to capture the “pig man” when parents were left spooked by his behaviour.

The matter quickly caught the attention of the headteacher of Chase School in Malvern, Worcestershire, who issued a warning not to approach him.

A letter from the 1,500 pupil secondary school stated: “We have been notified by several students and parents of a man acting strangely outside school.

“The man was wearing a full pig mask and approaching students on their way home.”

Local mum, Stacey Lee, said her 11-year-old daughter Misha was too scared to walk to school.

She said: “My daughter Misha took a video when she was walking back from school on her own on November 27.

“I thought it might’ve been a one-off, but he was back outside the school the next day.

“She sent the video to me on WhatsApp concerned saying ‘there’s a man in a pig hat.’

“He was jumping in front of kids and throwing his arms out to scare them.”

After sparking terror throughout November and December 2019, Evans was eventually arrested in in the last month of the year.

Yesterday (August 3), Evans was slapped with a criminal behaviour order (CBO) banning him from wearing a pig mask in public.

He was also prohibited from approaching or speaking to any children who are not accompanied by an adult or going within 300 metres of Chase High School between 8am and 6pm.

He is also restricted from “acting in any manner that causes or is likely to cause anyone alarm, harassment or distress” and wearing any face mask or face covering in a public place other than a plain mask for Covid protection.

Evans, who served in the Royal Corps of Signals, has previously been slapped with a public order offence for “impersonating a lollipop lady” when he grabbed crossing guard Trudy Macey’s stick on November 11, 2019.
