Don’t you just hate it when you’re walking through a supermarket car park and you get attacked by a monkey wearing a nappy?

In the frantic scene, a woman races over and says: ‘Let him go, let him go, let him go! If he bites you, they will put him down.’


She then leads the monkey away by the hand like a naughty child to complete the bizarre encounter.



The Walmart worker was not bitten in the tangle, KSNW-TV reported.

The video, taken from a nearby car by Richelle Stewart, was taken after the monkey reportedly escaped from a vehicle.

Emergency call records show someone dialled 911 to report the monkey biting the employee, but records show the man did not require medical attention.

But a Walmart spokesperson said the employee was not bitten – and that he grabbed the monkey’s leash after it escaped.

Walmart said the owner was ‘grateful’.

The Department of Agriculture is trying to find the woman amid concerns that the monkey may not be registered.
