Two Americans were arrested in Japan on Monday after breaking into the enclosure of the beloved Punch the monkey, the 9-month-old internet sensation, police said.
Tokyo police detained Reid Jahnai Daysun, 24, and Neal Jabahri Duan, 27, after one of the men allegedly jumped the fence to enter the enclosure while the other filmed, The New York Times reported.
Videos of the incident show a person, believed to be Daysun, in a blue suit with a smiling emoji head climbing into the enclosure that houses Punch.
The little monkey went viral after over heartbreaking images of him cradling an stuffed orangutan toy after his mother abandoned him at birth.
