Monkeys mug tourist, take phone at zoo

A visitor to Fuzhou Zoo had his phone stolen and his

arm scratched after he took photos of a group of

Assamese macaques.

 

Zheng Dong was taking snaps of the monkeys when one of

them suddenly snatched his phone and started chewing

it.

 

Zheng climbed over the railings and tried to get his

phone but three of the macaques flew into a rage and

scratched his arm.

 

With the help of zookeepers Zheng got his phone back,

but it was damaged beyond repair. He is now claiming

compensation from the zoo.
