- 4 years ago
An injured monkey that was hit by speeding cars on a highway in Malaysia was rescued by a police officer and a passing motorcycle rider.
The traffic cop was patrolling the Lubuhraya Toll road in Selangor on July 20 when he noticed the bloodied monkey.
The poor animal had been trying to cross the highway to reach a forest on the other side when it was hit by a vehicle.
A kind delivery rider also stopped his bike to help the officers who were having a hard time catching the defensive monkey, who was frightened and hurting.
In the video, the long-tailed monkey refused to be carried by the officers because it is was defensive after sustaining injuries.
The monkey continued to evade them causing slow traffic until the rider was able to carry it into safety.
The heroic rider took the monkey in his arms and carried it on the other side of the road where the thick forest is.
It scampered away while the traffic officers and the rider were later praised by the Malaysian Royal Police.
They said: "We would like to express our congratulations and thanks to the officers and the rider. The way that they helped the monkey is a good example of cooperation between officers and citizens.''
