A rogue wild monkey is terrorising stall holders at a market after 'hitch hiking' from a town overrun with primates.<br /><br />The male macaque is believed to have reached to the market in Ang Thong province after climbing into a pickup truck and riding 25 miles from the notorious city of Lopburi, where monkeys have taken over the streets.<br /><br />Footage from Tuesday morning (June 30) shows the primate walking and climbing around on the building after it had damaged the vendors' goods.<br /><br />One of the traders, Paweena Semathong, 64, said locals had complained of being terrorised by the monkey and needed the authorities to take care of him.<br /><br />She said: "Normally, there are no wild monkeys in the area and this one might have come Lopburi. It's possible he was separated from his troop and climbed into a car.<br /><br />"Our goods were damaged by the monkey and we are worried it would attack the children. We want the authorities to take action before more start arriving.''<br /><br />In neighbouring Lopburi, thousands of monkeys have taken over the streets after food shortages during the coronavirus lockdown.<br /><br />They were seen last week attacking people, raiding shops and stealing food from pickup trucks. Officials have started a mass sterilisation programmed to try and control the population.
