Lucknow: A video has been getting traction on social media platforms of a chaos ensued in a mall in Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi as a monkey loosely ran around. The monkey later attacked a woman customer and snatched her shoe at the City Car Mall while storekeepers are trying to capture it using a blanket.

The monkey soon jumped towards a cloth rack only to jump at the woman again. It repeatedly attacked the woman amid attempts to take it away from her. When it was separated, it snatched her shoe and kept nibbling on it.
Others tried to restrain the monkey by throwing a blanket on it, but it evaded the trap every time. A second round of chase ensued as the monkey ran across the store, at times sitting on the clothes stand, making his way through the different product sections.
