KIDS were left terrified after a creepy figure in a gas mask walked into a play centre and told them to “stay quiet.”

The freaky moment was captured on CCTV in Zabki, a town in central Poland just northeast of Warsaw.

Looking like something from a horror film, the individual was wearing a long coat that made them look even more unsettling.

Believed to be a man, the masked figure walked into the building, fixed his gaze on the kids, and strolled out moments later.

Worker Milena Wojtyna recalled: “He entered our playroom. It was 4pm.

“He was there for about 30 seconds. He didn’t move and stared at the children.

“Then he gestured in my direction to be quiet. After that, he left our room.

“I didn’t know what his intentions were and what he wanted to do.

“The man was masked and had gloves.”

According to Milena, he also went into a supermarket, a cafe, and even a tanning salon to spook locals.

She continued: “His behaviour was very unsettling.

“In the supermarket, he tried to grab a young boy’s hand. The child was terrified.”

Another local told how the man had stalked him inside a store.

Police were called to stop the scary figure, but he fled before officers turned up.

Monika Kaczynska of the Wolomin County Police told local media: “We have determined that we are dealing with a 13-year-old.

“Since this is a minor, the documents gathered in this case will be handed over to the Family Court.”

In October, a five-year-old boy was stabbed to death by an elderly knifeman in Poland.

The youngster was on a trip with other preschoolers in the city of Poznan when he was attacked in the street.

The children were walking in the Lazarz neighbourhood when they were ambushed by the man.
