BOHOL: Chalk this up to the bizarre and do not try this at any time.

A snake died after it was bit by a man who fought back from the animal’s attack here.

Reports said that the man, identified as Boljulio Aleria, was on board his motorcycle when a snake identified as a reticulated python attacked him at Barangay Quinapon-an at the Antequera town.

Antequera Police Staff Sergeant Andy Calcaben said that the snake bit Aleria on his hands and arms. 

It then tried to wrap around Aleria’s arm.

Using his free hand, Aleria grabbed the head of the snake and bit its neck.

The struggle lasted for 10-minutes until the snake died. 

Residents then hurriedly brought the man to the nearest hospital for treatment.

He is currently recuperating at a hospital in Tagbilaran City.

Police were able to dispose of the snake after the incident.
