This story is from '01, but I like it.
"Monkey man" hysteria has swept the Indian capital following the confirmation that injuries sustained by victims are animal bites. Reports were so prolific that police ran short of vehicles following up complaints. The public's fear of the monkey man is so great that residents of Noida, a New Delhi suburb, caught and beat up a 4-foot-tall wandering Hindu mystic, mistaking him for the simian terror. Residents said the creature was "as small as a cat" and had metallic hands, while a few others claimed it was a monkey who could turn into a cat.
I came across this one as I was looking for a different monkey attack story. This past weekend the Delhi monkeys went crazy again and attacked people.
