Circulating video footage captured the youth struggling to break free from the snake’s hold. Local residents rushed to assist, striking the python with sticks for approximately 30 minutes until they managed to loosen its grip and release the young man.

The incident resulted in severe injuries to the victim’s hand. He was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital to receive medical treatment for his wounds.
