Monkey Bites Reporter, Votes

>To be honest, I am not sure why this little guy’s choice in presidents drew such attention, but evidently Elyse Gazewitz, the owner of the previously disputed capuchin monkey, Armani, held a press conference at which the monkey voted early.

While waiting for the voting to take place, according to WTOP, Armani bit a reporter:

Before Armani cast a ballot for Barack Obama, the monkey lunged off its [owner's] shoulder and bit the reporter’s finger.The reporter at the time was getting recording equipment from a table. The reporter is fine after being treated in a hospital emergency room, given a tetanus shot and antibiotics.

You’ll need to go here to see the video.
