An astonishing video has started circulating on the internet of a drunk Chinese man on the ground wrestling with a python.
As narrated by his friends the whole ordeal started when the young man encountered a 6.6ft long snake on their way home after leaving the pub, and thought it a good idea to tease the snake.
Unfortunately for the man, things went horribly wrong as he was soon caught in the vice-like grip of the snake struggling for his life, forcing his friends to call for help. By the time authorities arrived at the scene, the snake had coiled up the entire length of the man’s body.
The fire department had to intervene before the snake could crush the young man to death. When asked how he got into such a situation the man said he could not remember.
When the firefighters arrived at the scene in Huizhou, which is located north of Hong Kong in China, they were able to save the man from the grip of the snake by using long poles to seize the snake.
They then stuffed the snake into a snack before transporting it to a safer more secluded location, before releasing it into the wild the next day, as for the man he refused to be escorted to the hospital and then left for his home along with his friends.
