Baboons on loose at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital

A number of baboons have broken loose, roaming outside Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney’s inner west.

Several callers to 2GB reported three primates had escaped the hospital, with some suggesting they had now been rounded up.

“My daughter is an occupational therapist at RPA and she said “yes mum I just helped wrangle them,” a woman said.

NSW Police confirmed the baboons were roaming wild around the hospital.

“They seem to have come from the hospital,” a spokeswoman said.

Police said they have been contacted by hospital in regards to the baboons and were asked to respond.
