Cops launched an urgent hunt for one crazed monkey in the city after it injured 18 people in a ten-day rampage. The beast even managed to make its way into a primary school on July 11 and scratched one of the pupils.

One of them was attacked while she was hanging washing out on her balcony. MONKEY RAMPAGE And early on July 17, the deranged monkey slid open another fly screen and launched an attack on a four-year-old girl. The following day, the primate chomped on a woman's feet after ripping through the fly screen on her balcony. There are estimated to be more than 100,000 wild Japanese macaques \- and they are occasionally known to enter towns and cities. In 2013, the city of Hyuga in Miyazaki reportedly paid £120 compensation to 18 victims after a macaque went on a similar wild rampage. And a homeowner whose property was damaged during the hunt for the monkey was reportedly also awarded £1,800. It comes after a troop of killer monkeys threw a four-month-old baby to his death after snatching him from his mother. Dad Nirdesh Upadhyay, 25, had been on his three-story roof terrace with his wife and son at their home in Bareilly, India when the animals took the tot. Despite their efforts to drive them away, the animals surrounded the terrified trio and continued to taunt them. Nirdesh made a desperate bid for freedom and ran towards the stairs with his four-month-old son \- but he slipped through his hands. The dad then immediately tried to scoop his newborn baby back into the safety of his arms as his mother watched on in horror. But one of the monkeys beat them to it \- and mercilessly launched the tot from the three-story roof. The little boy tragically died, according to reports.
