Wild video shows monkey on scooter trying to kidnap toddler
People are going ape over a shocking video showing a monkey riding a tiny motor scooter trying to kidnap a toddler in Indonesia, grabbing the girl by her dress and dragging her along an alley.
The wild monkey business unfolded Saturday in the East Java city of Surabaya and involved a traditional form of street entertainment known as topeng monyet, or masked monkey, according to Indonesia Expat.
The pesky primate, accompanied by gamelan percussion music, is seen riding the tiny vehicle down Gang Mawar, a narrow residential street, before stopping by a wooden bench where a woman is sitting with a baby and two young children.
The monkey hops off the bike and pulls the diapered girl in a yellow dress — dragging her several feet as onlookers yell at the handler.
When the monkey ends its attack, the girl gets up and runs back to her mother, the disturbing video shows. She suffered abrasions to her forehead.
Jasa Supanji, who shot the footage, told Storyful that the incident happened as people gathered to watch the performance.
Indonesians slammed the handler for beating the monkey after the incident, saying it's wrong for the animals to be used for entertainment.
