When a woman stood outside the security fence, the monkey hurled mud bombs at her as she walked around the perimeter fence.
He missed, but footage shows he caught someone who didn’t duck in time.
The woman, nicknamed Ms. Tan in local media, said the monkey seemed to follow her around the enclosure wherever she went.
Eventually, feeling safe behind the wall, she began filming a selfie with the monkey in the background.
However, she had to hide under the wall and was nearly beaten again.
