A security guard in Indonesia, Robert Nababan, is recovering in hospital after winning a brutal fight against a giant python.
Nababan said he came across the seven-metre (23ft) long serpent on the road as he returned from work in the Indragiri Hulu Regency of Riau Province in north-western Indonesia.
The 37-year-old was riding his moped, a small motorcycle, when he saw two pedestrians cringing from the road ahead where the huge reptile blocked their path.
On his hospital bed, Nababan recalled his encounter with the snake as he tried to move it. He said: “I tried to catch it. It bit my arm and we wrestled for a while.”
Nababan suffered deep lacerations to his left arm and hand. Medical diagnosis also revealed that he suffered from exhaustion as a result of his grueling duel with the snake.
Although he could not reveal how the snake was killed as Nababan’s family ordered journalists out of the hospital ward before he could finish his story, grisly proof of its defeat was established as the snake’s remains was seen strung across a clothesline in Nababan’s village.
