Commuters jumped in fright as a snake slithered across a city train platform in Australia, proving nowhere is safe from the nation’s creepy-crawlies.
Footage showed the small serpent wriggling down the platform in the city of Sydney on Sunday night.
One woman abandons her bike after spotting the snake and flees in the opposite direction, while other passengers anxiously huddle together on the platform.
The impasse is solved when one passenger plucks up the courage to hoist the snake by its tail and drop it over the hand railing.
“A passenger who got off a train took it upon himself to handle the intruder,” said government agency Transport for New South Wales, adding that “the man did not flinch.”
