Monkey gives police the runaround as it scampers across busy road

One of the busiest highways in Brazil was brought to a standstill thanks to a fugitive monkey.
The brown howler monkey gave Brazilian traffic cops the run around along the Imigrantes highway in the state of São Paulo.
The mischievous chimp kept officers chasing after it for more than an hour across the motorway as lorries, coaches and cars were forced to stop until the animal was safely captured.
