"Arrest That Snake!" ~ Python Kidnaps Kenyan ;-)

In breaking news, the BBC reveals that Man bites snake in epic struggle...
"The serpent seized farm worker Ben Nyaumbe in the Malindi area of Kenya's Indian Ocean coast at the weekend. Mr Nyaumbe bit the snake on the tip of the tail during the exhausting battle in the village of Sabaki. Police rescued Mr Nyaumbe and captured the 13ft (4m) reptile, before taking it to a sanctuary, but it later escaped. The victim told police he managed to reach his mobile phone from his pocket to raise the alarm when the python momentarily eased its grip after hauling him up a tree on Saturday evening. [...] The police officer said they took the snake to a sanctuary in Malindi town but it escaped overnight, probably from a gap under the door in the room where it was kept."
The punch line...
"We are still seriously looking for the snake," said Supt Katam. "We want to arrest the snake because any one of us could fall a victim." ;-)
