Footage has captured a chimp hurling a bottle through the air at a zoo in south China, hitting the girl who was filming.
The video shows the chimpanzee in his enclosure at Nanning Zoo shortly before the attack jumping up and down before throwing the item.
The girl’s mother said she had been enjoying the zoo visit until the mineral water bottle thrown by the chimp caused an injury to her daughter’s eye.
The girl, whose age is unknown but is said to be minor, reportedly started bleeding from the blow, although there was no further update on her condition.

As a woman stood outside the safety fence, the ape hurled mud bombs at her as she walked around the perimeter.
He missed, but footage shows that he caught someone else who did not duck in time.
The woman, named Ms Tan in local media, said the ape seemed to follow her around the enclosure no matter where she went.
Eventually, believing she was safe behind the wall, she started filming a selfie with the ape in the background.
However, she had to hide under the wall and almost got struck again.
