The police in central Thailand said they barricaded themselves into their own station over the weekend, after a menacing mob of 200 escaped monkeys ran riot on the town.

200 monkeys escape from cage and run riot in Thai town

The human inhabitants of Lopburi have long suffered from a growing and aggressive monkey population, and the authorities have built special enclosures to contain the unruly residents.

But on Nov 16, around 200 of the primates broke out and rampaged through the town, with one posse descending on a local police station.

"We've had to make sure doors and windows are closed to prevent them from entering the building for food," police captain Somchai Seedee told AFP on Nov 18.
