This is the bizarre moment a drunk monkey picked up a kitchen knife and began terrorising men in a bar.
The capuchin became aggressive after drinking leftover rum at the venue in Paraiba, Brazil.
It grabbed a foot-long knife and began chasing the male drinkers – but not the women.
The bar owner was forced to call the fire brigade as the monkey rampaged out of control.
Fire chief Lt Col Saul Laurentino said: 'It was a bar staff oversight that ended with the monkey drinking some rum and taking the knife.'
A video posted on YouTube shows the animal scraping the roof tiles with the blade before it dashed off. Firefighters eventually managed to capture the animal after the incident earlier this month and released it into a nature reserve, it was reported by Ninemsn, which cited aRede.
