According to reports, the caretaker sustained significant injuries, including a severed finger and deep bite wounds on his leg, while attempting to manage the situation. A zoo visitor was also reported to have been attacked during the encounter.

While the incident has been confirmed, details regarding the specific species of the monkey, the exact circumstances that allowed the animal to breach its enclosure, and the current condition of the victims remain limited.
