Angry monkey punches young girl in the face

A video making its way around the web shows an angry monkey lashing out at a young child, the Metro reported.

The video shows the young girl just standing beside the monkey when it punched her. The punch was so hard she fell down a flight of stone steps.

 At the time, the girl and her mum were just trying to feed it some food.

Some reports say the child teasing it by dangling food and then pulling it away caused the animal’s reaction.

The incident reportedly took place at a zoo in China.
