A horrifying CCTV video has captured the moment a rampaging monkey launched a savage attack on a defenceless woman outside her home in a residential complex in Vadodara, India, biting her repeatedly and leaving her with deep wounds across her body.
The brutal assault unfolded at Infinium Flats in the TP-13 area of Chhani Jakatnaka, where the woman was walking through the covered walkway near Tower D. In the shocking footage, the grey monkey is seen suddenly charging at her without warning, pouncing and sinking its teeth into her multiple times as she desperately tried to escape.
Screaming for help, the victim was overpowered and fell to the ground near parked cars and scooters while the animal continued its frenzied attack. The entire terrifying ordeal was recorded by the complex’s security cameras on the morning of 13 November 2026, with timestamps showing the chaos unfolding around 8:38 am.
Residents rushed the seriously injured woman to a nearby hospital for urgent treatment. Local reports describe deep bite wounds on several parts of her body, leaving her in a distressed state.
Locals say the attack is the latest in a growing wave of monkey menace that has left women and young children too frightened to step outside their homes. Residents of Infinium Flats told local media they had been complaining about frequent monkey sightings and aggressive behaviour for some time, yet felt authorities were doing little to address the problem.
“The monkeys are becoming bolder and more dangerous,” one resident said. “Women and children are scared to leave their houses. We informed the Forest Department, but nothing concrete was done until this happened.”
The viral footage has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many questioning why urban wildlife authorities failed to act sooner despite repeated warnings. Similar monkey attacks have been reported across Vadodara in recent months.
In a later development, the Forest Department launched an operation and successfully captured the aggressive monkey after considerable effort, bringing some relief to frightened residents. However, locals insist this is only a temporary fix for a problem that has been allowed to spiral out of control in residential areas.
The incident has once again highlighted the rising human-monkey conflict in Indian cities, where shrinking habitats and easy access to food waste have driven the animals into housing complexes, turning once-peaceful neighbourhoods into places of fear.
