Wild monkeys attack Indonesian village
Ten monkeys attack leaving several injured

A group of wild monkeys have gone on a rampage in an Indonesian village, breaking into homes and attacking residents.

Reportedly about ten monkeys attacked the Toddang Pulu village this week, causing panic amongst villagers.

According to Ambo Ella, a spokesman for Sidendeng Rappang district in the South Sulawesi province, the monkeys are believed to have come from a nearby forest, which is protected by a local tribe.

Seven people were injured during the attack, including a 16-year-old boy who is being treated in hospital, and is reportedly in a critical condition after being badly bitten.

It is unclear what motivated the monkeys to attack, as they usually avoid encounters with humans, according to local reports.

Local authorities are investigating what could have prompted the monkeys, who usually shy away from human voices, to emerge from the forest and attack.
