A group of monkeys reportedly stopped a man from raping a six-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat, India.
The child was playing outside her house when the man lured her into an abandoned building.
However, monkeys attacked the man, forcing him to flee.
According to The Times of India, the incident took place on Saturday.
The reports stated that the victim, a kindergarten pupil, narrated the incident to her family, telling them how the monkeys saved her.
According to the victim’s father, she was playing outside their house when the accused took her to an abandoned house.
He then took off her clothes and attempted to rape her, when a group of monkeys aggressively attacked the man, forcing him to flee.
“The man could be seen in nearby CCTV footage, walking on a narrow lane with my daughter. He is yet to be identified.
“He also threatened my child that he would kill me. My daughter would have been dead by now if the monkeys had not intervened,” the girl’s father said.
Following the incident, the victim’s parents filed a complaint at the nearest police station.
