12-foot python let loose in streets of England
British bobbies wrangled a cold-blooded killer that tried to slither from their grasp in a hissy fit.
Cops responded to an early morning call of a 12-foot long Burmese python in the middle of a West Bromwich street Wednesday.
Three officers were seen corralling the imposing yellow non-venomous reptile as a fourth looked on, photos showed.
It was unclear where the snake came from, but they are commonly kept as pets in the UK.
It was taken to a veterinary hospital for observation, the West Midlands police said.
“Our officers are not easily rattled when it comes to responding to unusual calls,” the department posted on Instagram.
“While RSPCA colleagues would usually handle this situation they were not able to attend due to the time of the call so some of our brave response officers stepped in,” the post continued.
“We managed to safely rescue the snake and get it into our van without too many slips and slides,” they added.
