A woman who tried to feed a wild monkey in the Qinling mountains, Shaanxi province, was bitten by the animal on Wednesday.

He Xiuqin, a farmer in Fotang village at the foot of the mountain, said the wild monkey ran into her yard and looked hungry. She wanted to give it something to eat. However, the monkey bit He on her arm and then ran away and caused more ruckus in the village.

Police and animal protection workers carried the monkey back to a wild animal protection center since it was injured.
