Monkey tears off soccer coach's ear


In a bizarre incident, a monkey tore off a soccer coach's ear while he was trying to save his young trainees from the simian at a stadium here. Samir Chatterjee as usual came to the field in the morning yesterday to train his boys at Sodepur Sporting Stadium in North 24 Parganas but the monkey intervened. Sensing danger, Chatterjee known for his love for animals, collected some potatoes to lure away the monkey, but it instead pounced on him tearing off his ear.
