Monkey walks into bar, downs rum, threatens people with a knife

It was only ever going to end badly for this boozy monkey who walked into a bar and started threatening everyone with a kitchen knife.

The belligerent monkey apparently downed a glass of rum and started threatening people with a sharp knife.
Caught on camera, the drunken monkey can be seen wreaking havoc on the roof, running around and vandalising the bar.

Firefighters were called to the bar in Patos, Brazil on February 5, to reports of an aggressive monkey with a kitchen knife chasing men.
Fire department Lt. Col. Saul Laurentino said the monkey drank a glass of rum at the bar before picking up the knife and chasing after men, leaving the women alone.
Laurentino told the aRede website: ‘It was a bar staff oversight that ended with the monkey drinking some rum and taking the knife.’

The monkey was captured by firefighters and released back into the wild, but it was later captured a second time for acting aggressively toward residents of homes near the woods.
Local authorities said they are now trying to determine whether the animal should be taken into permanent captivity.
