Ukrainian refugee girl is fighting for life after being attacked by a MONKEY: Child is saved by parents but suffers huge blood loss after animal escapes Moscow zoo
An escaped monkey brutally attacked a Ukrainian war refugee girl after escaping from a private zoo in Moscow, leaving the girl fighting for her life.
The animal is seen on video viciously biting the helpless toddler as her parents fight to free her from the grip of the escaped pet.
The girl called Paulina is now in intensive care after the horrific ordeal in an elite village near Russia's capital. Her wounds are described as 'severe'.
She suffered lacerations of her arms and legs, and serious blood loss.
While the parents were eventually able to free their daughter from the monkey, Paulina suffered from severe injuries and was left in intensive care.
Reports said the wealthy neighbours also keep wolves, elephants and other wild animals in their home zoo in Terpigorievo village, say reports.
The victim was described as a refugee child from the war in Ukraine.
The girl's parents are friends of the owner of the house where the attack took place.
They had given the family refuge from the war started in February by Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Police are now investigating the attack after the parents made a complaint about the horrific attack.
The zoo is said to be owned by the wife of a prominent Moscow lawyer.
A criminal investigation is underway.
