Only this isn’t fiction.

As reported by TMZ, monkeys have been terrorizing residents in the southwestern Japanese city of Yamaguchi. The animals have been targeting young children and newborns.

Per TMZ, “city officials say a troop of monkeys has been carrying out the attacks since July 8. Biting and clawing at human flesh, and sneaking into nurseries to try and snatch babies.”

It’s kind of a big deal.

This is no small problem, either. Just the opposite. At last check, the monkeys have already injured at least 58 people.

City officials are responding by hiring a special unit to combat the monkeys. One large monkey was tranquilized and killed.

“The monkeys aren’t interested in food. That mean traps aren’t working. They’re mostly going after children and the elderly, often sneaking up from behind and grabbing people’s legs,” TMZ wrote.

What remains unsolved is where the monkeys came from and why they are suddenly attacking.

“The attacks include an assault on a woman while she was hanging laundry on her veranda, and there are images of monkeys peering through windows and loitering outside schools,” TMZ reported.
