A man who tried to push a monkey off railings got what he deserved when it turned around and attacked him.

Video shows how the monkey cried as it lost balance and fell – only to leap back up seconds later and slash his hands and face.

No sympathy for the man, sorry. It’s like he hasn’t even watched the Wizard of Oz.

The unnamed man was visiting the Xitian Temple in Dehua County, East China’s Fujian Province.


Another visitor filmed him creeping up on the unsuspecting animal, which was perched on a metal railing next to the body of water.



After the monkey took revenge, it then chased the man into the temple as other visitors laughed.

It was joined by another monkey, who defended its friend and also began to attack the man.

The monkey’s clan mate rushes to its rescue and enters the building to attack the man.

‘The monkeys scratched the tourist,’ a temple employee said, adding: ‘There were other people inside, and they helped drive the monkeys away.’

The tourist later shared a photo of his bloodied hand and face.

Sorry, that’s called karma.
