A man fought in a deadly fight with a seven-meter python
Robert Nababan was returning home from work in the province of Riga, Indonesia, when he saw that a giant snake blocked the road to two pedestrians.
The 37-year-old guard of the palm plantation decided to intervene and drive the python out of the way, but the snake clung with sharp teeth to Robert's hand.
A man was struggling with a python right in the middle of the road, and passers-by looked at what was happening with horror. After a grueling fight, the reptile was killed, and the man was sent to the hospital with deep wounds.
Lying in a hospital bed, Robert told about the fight with the python: "I tried to grab him. He bit my hand and we fought for a while."
The defeated python was put on display in Robert's village.
Indonesian media note that a collision with the same huge snake in March this year ended sadly for a resident of West Sulawesi. He was found dead in the stomach of a python.
