Jakarta, Indonesia - Animal trappers have cut short the two-week rampage of a monkey that randomly attacked 18 people on Indonesia's Sumatra island, prompting dozens of schools to close in fear.
The animal, an adult long-tailed macaque, wounded 18 residents of the town of Tembilahan, biting and clawing at its victims -- most of whom it targeted when they were alone.
Those hurt included children and elderly people.
"As of today, there were 19 attacks, with 18 victims. One victim was attacked twice," Tembilahan fire and rescue service head Junaidy Ismail told AFP on Friday.
