A monkey launched itself at a man and hauled him to the ground in an apparent revenge attack after he threw rocks at his simian pals.
Bizarre footage showed the man attacking the monkeys with a stone as they ran across the road.
The little primates were seen ducking and diving as the mystery man chased them through Utter Pradesh, India.
The man’s actions annoyed one of the little monkeys who jumped on a ledge above a door and launched itself at the man, knocking him to the ground.
In the wake of the attack he realised his top had been torn by the creature as he walked away, as the monkey watched.
The man seemed to get angry again and so picked up another brick taking aim at the monkey, before seemingly giving up.
A local source said: "The animal later fled from the place after the attack."
