Monkey attacks: Monkey attacks 25-day-old girl, doctors put 14 stitches to stop bleeding | Chennai News

Cuddalore: A monkey on Sunday attacked and bit a 25-day-old girl who was sleeping in her house in a village near Srimushnam in Cuddalore district, leaving her with a severe cut injury on her right hip. The daughter of Jagadeesan, a 30-year-old daily wage labourer of Mudikandanallur village, and J Vinodhini later required 14 stitches at a private hospital to stop the bleeding, police said. A police official said that Jagadeesan had gone out on Sunday and his wife put the two daughters to bed and then attended to their household duties. The couple’s younger daughter, born just 25 days earlier, was sleeping in a makeshift cradle when the monkey, which had strayed into the village earlier, entered the house and attacked the girl, biting her on the right side of the hip and inflicting severe bleeding injuries on her. When the mother heard her daughter screaming in pain, she rushed to her, found a monkey near the baby and managed to chase it away. By then, Jagadeesan had reached home and the couple took the baby to a private hospital in Srimushnam where the doctors on duty administered the required vaccination. They also stitched the baby 14 times to stop the bleeding and speed up the healing process. This is the second incident in the last six months of a monkey attacking a baby in the village. A few months ago, an 18-month-old girl was injured in a monkey attack, some residents of the village said, adding that they had requested the district administration, particularly the forest department officials, to capture the monkeys straying into the village and release them in nearby forest areas. Their repeated requests fell on deaf ears, they said. The forest officials have not taken any action on our repeated requests. Monkeys that stray into the village are aggressive and attack people who try to chase them away, Vinodhini said.
