- Two foreign nationals have been arrested in Japan after one allegedly trespassed into a macaque enclosure at Ichikawa City Zoo.
- The arrests followed an incident on 17 May where one man allegedly climbed a fence and jumped four metres into the enclosure, while the other filmed him.
- The accused, dressed in a yellow costume, entered the enclosure which houses about 60 monkeys, including Punch, a macaque who gained viral fame.
- Zoo staff apprehended the man and handed him over to the police, leading to the arrest of both individuals.
- Punch, the baby macaque, went viral earlier this year for cuddling an orangutan stuffed toy after being rejected by his mother, though he is now socialising with other monkeys.
