Translation: A woman in the neighborhood reported seeing an animal that looked like a gorilla. Police and dispatchers said it turned out to be a young man in a "gilly" camouflage suit, which has strips of cloth hanging off it.
He was jumping out in front of cars with a stick.
"Gilly" suit: Leafy or shaggy camouflage suit that disguises the wearer and looks much like a hairy animal.
