A wild monkey tried to kidnap a three-year-old girl before a neighbour came to her rescue, while she was left with scratches on her face.
According to a shocking CCTV footage, the toddler was seen playing on a scooter outside when the monkey suddenly pounced on her, shoved her to the ground and dragged her away.
Fortunately, someone from the village in Southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality saw what happened and rushed to save the child from the monkey.
The girl’s mum, known only as Ms Liu explained that she was cooking at the time and only found out a monkey tried running off with her daughter when next-door neighbours suggested she checked security footage.
According to Mr Chen from the village, the same vicious monkey has previously tried its luck harassing the elderly since its arrival in the area last May.
Over the past year, the monkey has reportedly formed a clique with two other smaller monkeys but Wednesday marked the first time they had targeted a child
