The people of Badnawar, in northern India, took to the streets to demand action after a monkey went on a rampage through the town, attacking and biting residents in a nine-day reign of terror.One victim, a 60-year-old named as Nathuram, later succumbed to his injuries and died. The fact no anti-rabies treatments are available at the local hospital has further angered the townspeople.The protesters blocked traffic, causing major disruption which stirred police into action. They also, according to the Times of India, laid the deceased man’s body in the street.Police commander DC Singh promised the townsfolk immediate action, which resulted in the lifting of the blockade.

Rabies medication was rushed to the area and a three-hour search by forest rangers resulted in the capture of a monkey that is thought to be the killer.The incident comes just a week after another Indian monkey took a bank worker hostage in a bizarre video. The incident happened in the Axis Bank in Nirman Vihar, India.“The customers watched this incident with amusement and they laughed at the action of the monkey,” a local said.“He also tried to hump the worker’s head a few times, before leaving.”
