The attack of the baboon -Victoria Falls Zambia

The newscast today says that visitors in southern Africa have been having issues with baboons.
I had a violent encounter with a baboon in Zambia. He was violent and I was encountered.
I was at a small shop with two others taking a break. I had a Coke and they had cookies.
Seemed peaceful sitting by Victoria Falls.
Wham! I got hit blindsided by a baboon and he grabbed the cookies and was gone.
He was about 90 pounds but I was not hurt.
Only startled.
The shopkeeper came out with a broom and chased the baboon.
He returned to tell us that it happens often.
Not to me.
