A 175-pound pet chimpanzee has been shot dead by police after it mauled a woman in the US.
The victim, said to be in her 50s, suffered serious facial injuries and was taken to hospital in Stamford, Connecticut.
Stamford police Lieutenant Richard Conklin told reporters the woman, who was visiting a friend, was attacked for no apparent reason when she got out of her car.
Sandra Herold, the owner of the 15-year-old chimp called Travis, wrestled with the animal as he mauled her friend, then ran inside her house to raise the alarm.
