A 5-year-old boy sustained injuries and received 30 stitches on several parts of his body after being attacked by a troop of more than 30 monkeys in front of his house in Jirat Cina Kuala Krai, Kelantan on December 22 (Friday).
Following the attack, the little boy’s mother found him covered in blood and injured on the calf, thigh and other parts of his body.
According to a report by Buletin TV3, he was immediately taken to the Sultan Ismail Petra Hospital in Kuala Krai to receive treatment.
It all started when the little boy was playing by himself.
A witness, 51-year-old Che Hasmani Che Mat shared that, at about 2pm on Friday, the boy was playing alone in front of his home.
“The monkeys come by here every day and there are a lot of them, when they come they’ll attack in a group, but up until this point, they would come and go but have never attacked people, they would only attack food and when they would come, there would be about 30 of them,” they shared.
