Moment tourist punches ‘particularly vicious’ monkey

A tourist and a macaque got into a brawl at a national park after the monkey tried to steal a bag.

The cheeky animal thought it had food inside and tried to snatch it from under the tourist’s nose, but ended up in an altercation.

The man stood on his bag to prevent the monkey from running away with it but appeared to kick the animal with his spare foot.

The monkey scaled a nearby fence and began snarling and baring its fangs, as the man put up both fists.
