- Train made an emergency stop after reptile spotted lurking on a baggage rack
- Man snatches snake’s tail and then smashes head on the floor in violent motion
- Creature was apparently killed instantly as shocked spectators kept distance
This is the moment an Indonesian man used his bare hands to kill a snake that was discovered slithering on a busy commuter train.
The train made an emergency stop after the reptile was spotted lurking on a baggage rack in a carriage headed to Jakarta from Bogor, south of the capital.
Smartphone footage, which quickly went viral, showed the bespectacled man casually snatch the snake’s tail and then smash its head on the floor in a violent whipping motion.

The creature was apparently killed instantly as shocked spectators – including a baton-wielding transit security officer – kept their distance.
The unidentified man wearing a backpack then tossed its limp body, which appeared to be about one metre (three feet) long, out the door to waiting security staff.
It is not clear what kind of serpent it was, nor whether it was venomous. No injuries to passengers were reported.
Train operator KCI said the reptile is thought to have slithered out from a passenger’s bag.
‘We regret the incident and apologise to train travellers who were disturbed by it,’ spokeswoman Eva Chairunnisa said.
It is not uncommon to see livestock or pets travelling on public transport in rural Indonesia, but passengers are prohibited from taking animals on urban transport lines.
