Man bites snake in epic struggle

[arkitect]

Christ… 3 hours up a tree struggling with a python bent on swallowing you…

A Kenyan man bit a python who wrapped him in its coils and dragged him up a tree during a fierce three-hour struggle, police have told the BBC.

The serpent seized farm worker Ben Nyaumbe in the Malindi area of Kenya's Indian Ocean coast at the weekend.

Mr Nyaumbe bit the snake on the tip of the tail during the exhausting battle in the village of Sabaki.

Police rescued Mr Nyaumbe and captured the 13ft (4m) reptile, before taking it to a sanctuary, but it later escaped.

The victim told police he managed to reach his mobile phone from his pocket to raise the alarm when the python momentarily eased its grip after hauling him up a tree on Saturday evening.

"We want to arrest the snake because any one of us could fall a victim."

That is one weak python or a strong man.

Or perhaps someone has been playing L4d?

The police officer said they took the snake to a sanctuary in Malindi town but it escaped overnight, probably from a gap under the door in the room where it was kept.

Wow... how big a gap must there have been under the door??

Woof, Woof - Dawg

The guy fights a python for 3 hours, and the only notable item is that he bit the snake?
