Children have grown up hearing stories of Santa Claus climbing down chimneys to leave gifts for hundreds of years. A Santa in Derbyshire, however, decided to break that trend. The Derby Telegraph reports this guy climbed through the window of a KFC drive-thru and took some money at knifepoint.

Restaurant employees say a man dressed as Santa Claus climbed through the drive-thru window late one night holding a giant knife. Upon his arrival, the faux Saint Nicholas demanded that he be taken to the safe.

The Santa was described as stocky and of Asian descent. He was dressed in a red hat, jack and top. A spokesperson for KFC said that the restaurant had been closed at the time and that no one was hurt.

Imagine being the person to see a knife-wielding Santa standing outside the drive-thru window late at night. Terrifying.
