Robert Nababan, a resident of the Indagiri Hulu regency of Riau, is currently receiving treatment in a hospital after claiming that he wrestled with the gigantic snake. He only suffered deep cuts on his left arm and fingers from the python’s bite, as well as exhaustion.
Speaking to reporters, Robert said that he was driving home on his motorcycle from his job as a security guard at a palm oil plantation near his village on Saturday evening.
He then came across two pedestrians who wanted to cross the road but stopped in their tracks when they saw the python lying in the middle of the road.
“I tried to catch it (the python). It bit my arm, and we wrestled for a while,” Robert said, as quoted by Detik today.
The snake’s giant body is shown in pictures strung across Mr Nababan’s village like a washing line. He is reported to have suffered deep lacerations to his left arm and hand.
It was also reported that he was suffering from exhaustion.
The unlucky snake may be a reticulated python – the largest specimens of which can sometimes reach seven metres (23 feet).
