The wild animal was spotted in a Walmart carpark in Lancaster, Ohio, wearing a white disposable nappy.

As customer Richelle Stewart and her husband pulled into the car park, they saw the nappy wearing monkey leap onto the Walmart employee in a fluro yellow vest standing next to a trolley collection station.

Stewart luckily caught the whole incident on camera and uploaded it to Facebook, where it has been viewed more than 366,000 times.

The video shows the man struggling to keep the monkey calm, when a women, presumed to be the monkey's owner, rushes over to catch the cheeky animal.

"Let him go, let him go, let him go," the women yells at the Walmart employee. "If he bites you, they will put him down."

According to news station NBC4, Stewart said "I saw the monkey and he was just standing on the carts... The monkey had escaped from a nearby camper. And we saw the cart guy from Walmart coming over to help her."

Stewart then saw the woman push the man away from the monkey, grab her pet's hand and walk away quickly. Walmart said the owner was “grateful” for the man's help.

While the worker must have been a bit shaken (who wouldn't be if a random nappy wearing monkey attacked you out of nowhere) luckily he wasn't bitten.

Since the strange scene went bonkers on the internet, The Department of Agriculture is investigating whether or not the monkey is registered.

And every one is wondering why on earth the monkey is wearing a nappy.
