Taxi in China Narrowly Avoids Fatal Crash After Circus Monkey Tries to Hijack it

An agitated monkey’s mad attempt to carjack a moving vehicle almost killed him, his owner and the taxi driver who gave them a lift in China.

The taxi driver, only identified with his surname Liu, almost ended up in an accident after a passenger’s trained circus monkey, who probably got bored while in transit, suddenly grabbed his car’s steering wheel. Surprised by the aggressive monkey, Liu almost lost control of the car, barely avoiding a collision on the busy streets on  of Qingdao, reported Netease (via Shanghaiist).

It was revealed later that the passengers he picked up were trying to find their way home after getting lost in the city. Wang, the monkey’s owner, is reportedly the director of a local circus. He and his monkey were taking a stroll when they lost their way and decided to hail a cab. Liu gave them a lift but the monkey’s antics almost killed them all.

In the monkey’s defense, Wang claims the monkey knows how to handle steering wheels, as he was trained to ride a mono-cycle for one of his acts.

While no one was injured during the incident, the local police who responded to the scene stated that taxi drivers have a right to refuse service to passengers with pets.
