Monkey tries to kidnap baby
Meanwhile, on Monday, in an alarming video that has gone viral, a monkey was seen trying to 'kidnap' a child in broad daylight. In the undated video shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) Officer Susanta Nanda, the monkey is seen riding a cycle towards a group of kids who are playing. As soon as he gets close to the children, he jumps off his bike and leaps onto a child. The child in the yellow t-shirt was then dragged for about 30 feet before people ran in to intervene. As soon as he saw people approaching, the monkey ditched his kidnapping attempt letting the confused child go and ran away.
We are surely living in strange times😳
