Boy badly hurt by aggressive monkey

A three year old boy was badly hurt after falling into the monkey's enclosure on a visit to the zoo on Saturday. Eyewitnesses said the child leaned too far and toppled in before his mother could catch him. One of the monkeys attacked him and the child was badly bitten when the keeper got him out minutes later. He was rushed to hospital for treatment. Doctors said the injuries were serious but the child is said to be recovering well.
