A 27-year-old singer has been taken into custody after allegedly recording an incident involving another individual. The arrest was made by Ichikawa Police on charges related to forcibly obstructing business activities.
The two individuals, both from the United States, have denied any wrongdoing. Importantly, no monkeys were harmed during the occurrence.
Ichikawa Zoo, in a statement on social media platform X, expressed regret over the event, assuring the public that the monkeys in their care showed “no abnormalities” following the incident.
“Last night, we submitted a damage report to the Ichikawa Police Station,” the statement added.
Located just outside Tokyo, Ichikawa Zoo has recently gained popularity with tourists, largely due to viral videos featuring a baby Japanese macaque named Punch.
The zoo just outside of Tokyo became a tourist hotspot earlier this year after videos surfaced of a baby Japanese macaque named Punch.
He went viral when he was spotted hugging a stuffed Orangutan given to him by zookeepers after being rejected by his mother.
