A snake charmer had a brush with death when his pet python tried to strangle him during a live performance.
The snake charmer had wrapped an adult python around his neck during a show.
But the deadly reptile tightened its grip and began to strangle him.
The man choked and collapsed showing visible signs of distress.
But it took some time for the crowd to realise the incident was not part of the show act and that the man was in serious trouble.
Three men rushed to his help and freed him from the python.
They took him to a local government hospital , where doctors treated him and later referred him to a specialist unit.
The incident occurred at Mau in Uttar Pradesh, India, on March 20. His current condition is unknown.
