Melissa Hart, 23, said the famous Barbary macaques pulled at her hair and ripped off her clothes during a visit to sunny Gibraltar.

The baker, who was on a day trip from Marbella, Spain, said she felt "helpless" during the shocking incident earlier this week.

She added: "These two monkeys grabbed and pawed me in my most intimate areas. Then, with a yank, one pulled my bikini top straight off."

Melissa, who works as a baker in Cheshire, claims other holidaymakers laughed at her during the attack.

The holidaymaker told a local paper: "I was being sexually assaulted and these people all thought it was a great joke."

She filed a complaint with police on the Rock after a warden head her screams and came to her rescue.

But she says a female officer did not take the report seriously – telling her monkeys cannot legally commit a crime.
