A drunken monkey threatened locals at a bar in Brazil after sampling a potent rum drink. The boozy capuchin monkey had to be disarmed after threatening to stab customers in Teixeira, Paraiba.
“It was a bar staff oversight that ended with the monkey drinking some rum and taking the knife,” said local fire department lieutenant Saul Laurentino.
Footage captured the monkey menacingly stalking the roof top of the bar carrying the giant weapon and stabbing at tiles.
Firefighters were called to a bar in Brazil to remove a drunk and belligerent monkey that downed a glass of rum and armed itself with a kitchen knife.
"It was a bar staff oversight that ended with the monkey drinking some rum and taking the knife," Laurentino told.
Locals captured video of the monkey using the kitchen knife to scratch at the bar's roof.
The monkey was captured by firefighters and released back into the wild, but the mischievous primate was later captured a second time for acting aggressively toward residents of homes near the woods.
Local authorities said they are now working to determine whether the monkey will be released again or taken into permanent captivity.
