This is the moment a monkey performed an acrobatic takedown of a man who had chased his mates away with a brick. A video shows the man picking up stones and trying to hit the monkeys running around in the Hattra region of northern India’s Uttar Pradesh on Thursday. But while most of the pack ran away, one climbed a building and launched an attack from above, knocking the man to the ground and ripping off his T-shirt. The monkey move looked like a version of the stunning – a finishing move used by WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin. A local source said: “The animal later left the place after the attack.” The man was left sprawled on the ground after the attack (Image: swns) There have been several violent incidents between monkeys and humans this summer. In June, a one-month-old baby boy died of injuries after a group of monkeys apparently kidnapped him from his mom’s arms. Shayima Said’s son, Luhaiba, was abducted by a monkey gang in Mwamgongo village, western Tanzania. She screamed for help and a group of villagers rushed to try to get Luhaiba back. They “used violence” against the monkeys and Luhaiba suffered injuries to his head and neck, The Citizen reported. Villagers eventually rescued Luhaiba and he was taken to emergency care, but he later died of his injuries. In July, a four-month-old baby also died after he was allegedly grabbed from his parents and thrown from a building in India. His father, Nirdesh Upadhyay, had carried the infant to his rooftop terrace, accompanied by his wife, after a power cut at their home in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh state. The gang of monkeys then jumped out of another room and surrounded the family, according to local reports. They tried to run inside, but one of the animals flew at the child and grabbed him before throwing him off the roof, killing him instantly. There were also reports that residents of Yamaguchi, Japan, were warned to watch out for vicious monkeys targeting babies and the elderly. The incidents, which have involved 58 people since July 8, forced the southwestern city to bring in the services of a special unit that hunted the animals with tranquilizer guns. The monkeys were said to bite and claw at flesh, grab babies and sneak into nurseries. No one was seriously injured, but at least one monkey was killed.
