The attack lasted 12 minutes, which must have felt like an eternity. Nash’s injuries were so serious that an officer presumably couldn’t tell her gender. “Hey listen,” one officer said over the radio, “We’ve got to get this out of here. He’s got no face.” “It just opened up one of the patrol cars and we had to let a couple go,” an officer said into a radio.Īt that point, Travis went running back through the house. Some officers gave chase while others tended to the victim. A 200-pound pet chimpanzee in Stamford, Connecticut, viciously mauled a woman he had known for years, leaving her critically injured with much of her face torn away, the authorities. Officers remained in their vehicles at first. Herold did the same.īut at some point, Travis the chimp tried to get into a squad car.
Then came this over the crackle of the radio: “Person down, chimp outside.” When police arrived, she continued shouting to them to “shoot him!”. “Shoot him,” Herold kept shouting into the phone. “Tell them to shoot him. Tell them to shoot him. Tell them to shoot him.” Nash was not dead, but was severely disfigured. Wednesday, she remained in critical condition at a local hospital. “Bring the guns. You have to kill this chimp.”.
Herold is at times frantic, at times sobbing. Travis could be heard squealing in the background. “They got to shoot him because I tried stabbing him and it didn’t work. They gotta shoot him,” she said. In that graphic 911 call, Herold, the primate’s owner, implored police to shoot the animal as it was attacking her friend, Charla Nash, 55. Herold had asked Nash to come over to help calm the chimp when he started acting up.
“He looked at me like, ‘Mom, what did you do?’ I tried to pull him but he was to strong, so I called 911 and told them to get up here as fast as possible.”
