He was said to be riding his moped when he saw two pedestrians blocked from crossing the road by the giant snake.

From his hospital bed, he related the story of how he had tried to get hold of the massive creature.

“I tried to catch it,” he said. “But it bit my arm and we wrestled for a while.”
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.
