Video: Grinch Stabs Frosty the Snowman

A miscreant in St. Louis ensured himself a place on Santa's Naughty List this year when he stabbed a giant inflatable Frosty the Snowman on the front lawn of a home.

Jeff Diggs managed to capture footage of the crime taking place via a security camera set up at his house.

In the video, the future coal recipient can be seen striding up to the towering snowman and lunging at it with a knife.

He then tries to cut the stings attached to the punctured snowman, possibly to kidnap the beloved holiday figure, before giving up on the pursuit and fleeing the area.

The video concludes with the sad scene of Frosty slowly deflating much like his snow-based brethren will be doing sometime this spring.

Thankfully, Diggs said, Frosty has been repaired since the attack and stands tall on his front lawn once again.

Coming on the heels of the zombie Nativity scene being vandalized earlier this week, we can only hope this is not the start of a trend.
