Chimp attack victim says Connecticut Gov. Malloy knew the animal was dangerous

A woman who was mauled and severely injured by an out-of-control chimpanzee and is now suing the state of Connecticut says Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, as then-mayor of Stamford, knew the animal was dangerous. In an interview with The Hartford Courant , Charla Nash said the chimpanzee got loose and roamed Stamford in 2003. She says Malloy knew the chimp’s owner, Sandra Herold, and allowed her to take him home and warned that he should be locked up. She was attacked by the animal in February 2009.
