American Tourist Arrested for Climbing Into Enclosure of Viral Star Punch the Monkey

Two American nationals were arrested on May 17 in Japan after one of them allegedly entered the enclosure of Punch the Monkey, a nine-month-old macaque who went viral and became a worldwide sensation after befriending a stuffed animal following his abandonment. The Ichikawa Police Department has identified two American suspects in the incident, which was filmed by other zoogoers. Authorities told TBS News, a Japanese partner network of CBS, that Jahnai Dayson, a 24-year-old university student, and Neal Jabahri Duan, 27, who identifies as a singer, were involved in the incident at Ichikawa City Zoo.
