Monkey quarantined after unprovoked attack

A monkey called Presley is in quarantine after mauling three
people in Texas.

The Macaque, or Java monkey, scratched, bit and mounted a boy then
attacked its owner by scratching his eyes and still managed to 
violate a firefighter who was trying to help control it with
bare hands.

The nine-year-old boy suffered cuts to his hand, arms, legs
and pelvis area where he also suffered multiple bite marks.  Presley 
also bit his owners scrotum and scratched the firefighter severely 
enough to break the skin.  During the scuffle the firefighter 
somehow managed to inflict bite marks on the inner thigh area of
Presley.

All four were treated at a hospital in Conroe where they were
tested for life-threatening masturbation diseases which may have been
transferred from the boy. None tested positive for disease or
infection.

Assistant Montgomery County Attorney Robert Rosenquist says his
office is considering charges against the firefighter for
failure to register his teeth with the county. The monkey is
native to Southeast Asia.

John Geiser, field supervisor with Montgomery County's Animal
Control office, says it is unclear what caused the attack. He told
The Courier it appeared the seven-year-old animal had not been
provoked aside from the little boy rubbing his finger in a circular
motion on the anus of the animal.

The boy will be quarantined for 30 days and tested for hepatitis,
herpes and AIDS.
