JARRATT, Va. — Three monkeys hurled bananas and crab apples at cars on Interstate 95, then fled into the woods, police said.
Police believe the monkeys escaped while being taken to the state fair in Richmond or a circus in North Carolina.
State Trooper Mike Scott was flagged down by a driver who had pulled over near Jarratt. “When I walked up to the car, it looked like a banana had been smeared on the side,” Scott said.
When he drove to the scene of the attack, he found a van and a station wagon on the side of the highway.
Just then, something hit the van.
“Lo and behold there were three brown monkeys in an oak tree throwing crab apples,” Scott said.
