chimp 911 call

UPDATE: Charla Nash has been denied a face transplant.

We did some digging and found the audio from Sandra Herold’s chilling 911 call as her 200-pound chimpanzee, Travis, attacked her friend Charla Nash, who bravely appeared on Oprah on Wednesday.

You can listen to the horrific chimp attack 911 call below.

Travis the Chimp went berzerk and viciously attacked Charla Nash as Sandra Herold begged police on the telephone to help her put a stop to the chimp attack.

In the audio below, she can be heard saying, “Hurry, please! He ripped her face off.”

You can hear Travis the chimp grunting has his owner cries out, “He’s killing my friend!”

The 911 dispatcher says, “Who’s killing your friend?”

Herold replies, “My chimpanzee! He ripped her apart! Shoot him, shoot him!”

When police arrive on the scene, one officer radios back: “There’s a man down. He doesn’t look good,” he says, referring to the disfigured Nash. “We’ve got to get this guy out of here. He’s got no face.”

The chimp attacked Nash as Herold, 70, frantically stabbed her pet with a butcher knife and pounded him with a shovel to try and get him to stop the attack.

As a young chimp, Travis was featured in television commercials for Old Navy and Coca-Cola, made an appearance on “The Maury Povich Show” and took part in a television pilot.
