From the Guardian:
After sampling some alcohol from patrons’ glasses, a monkey picked up a knife and chased customers around a bar in Paraiba, Brazil, it has emerged.
The capuchin monkey drank remnants of cachaça, a distilled spirit popular in Brazil, from glasses around the bar. The animal then chased the men in the pub with a foot-long knife but left the women “to drink in relative peace”, according to the Mirror.
“It was a bar staff oversight that ended with the monkey drinking some rum and taking the knife,” fire department Lt Col Saul Laurentino told aRede.
A video posted to YouTube on Wednesday allegedly shows the monkey stabbing sporadically at the roof of the establishment as people look on.
The monkey was then captured by the local fire department before being released into a nearby environmental reserve, according to the Huffington Post. But when the animal stirred up more trouble, scaring children and residents of the area, he was captured once more. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/18/monkey-paraiba-brazil-bar-drinks-rum-takes-knife
I've learned, from "Night at the Museum" that Capuchin monkeys are cute but mean.
But hey, seems like this can happen at any bar in the U.S., except the monkey is a adult human being.
Just remember, the Olympics are being held in Brazil this year.
