Americans Arrested in Japan for Stunt at Viral Baby Monkey's Zoo
Two American citizens were arrested in Japan after one entered the monkey enclosure at Ichikawa City Zoo, where a baby macaque named Punch gained internet fame. The incident involved a 24-year-old college student and a 27-year-old singer, who filmed the act. The stunt, which involved scaling a fence in a costume, led to charges of forcible obstruction of business.
