On July 12 at Hefei Wildlife Park, Hefei City, East China a chimpanzee escaped from its designated enclosure and knocked down its keeper, causing panic among visitors.
After it bounded away to the roof, it had to be shot with a tranquilliser gun by the police and returned to its enclosure thereafter.
The video was posted on social media by China Global Television Network.
