AN angry monkey got swift revenge on a cheeky tourist who pushed him into a pond for a laugh - by instantly attacking him.

The unnamed tourist was left with scratches and scrapes all over his face and arms when the animal chased him down and got its own back in China.

The video, filmed at the Xitian Temple in Dehua County, begins with a man wearing black jeans and a denim jacket approaching the unsuspecting monkey from behind.

It's sitting on a railing next to the water when the man gives it a rough shove as soon as he gets close enough.

It sends the money flying over the edge.

The monkey cries as it falls over the railing but just seconds later, it's back up again.

 This was the state of the unknown prankster who pushed the monkey

As the man turns to run from the monkey, one of his shoes falls off and he stumbles.

Visitors can be heard laughing as the monkey chases the shocked man through the temple.

He runs into an alleyway where he clearly thinks the monkey won't give chase - but it does.

Then a group of other monkey's rush to his aid - bursting into the building to attack the prankster.

One temple employee said: "The monkeys scratched the tourist."

They added: "There were other people inside, and they helped drive the monkeys away."

The tourist later shared a photo of his bloodied hand and face.
