Drunk man picks fight with a python in the street and it ends how you’d expect
A drunk man picked a fight with a python on his way home from the pub and lost in epic fashion.
The fire department had to intervene to save the man from the python’s killer grip.
Authorities said he wasn’t able to communicate how he ended up in its clutches as he was too drunk.
His pals said he came across the 6.6ft long snake on his way home from their local pub.
Feeling emboldened, the inebriated fella decided to tease the large python in front of his friends.
However, the reptile got the better of him and held him in its death grip, forcing his friends to call the fire department.
Firefighters arrived on the scene in Huizhou, located north of Hong Kong in China, before the animal had squeezed the victim to death.
They used catch poles to seize the snake and force it to loosen its grip.
Footage shows the victim trying to move on the ground as the snake coils itself further around his body.
Firefighters are then seen stuffing the captured reptile into a sack.
According to reports, the drunk man refused to be taken to hospital for an examination and left the scene in the company of his pals.
They took the captured python to a secluded spot and released it into the wild the following day.
