A gang pinned down a 14-year-old boy and attacked him with a snake, forcing the reptile to bite the teenager on the arm, British police said.
Police said they were interviewing two teenagers over the attack in the southwest English city of Bristol which they suspect was racially motivated.
The boy was taken to hospital for treatment after the non-venomous snake, thought to be a python about 1.2m long sank its fangs into his arm, leaving two puncture wounds, police said.
“The teenager had been subject to racist comments and then reportedly held down as a snake was held in front of him, which bit his right arm,” a spokesman for Avon and Somerset police said.
“The boy was taken to Frenchay Hospital with breathing problems, where he was treated for the injury to his arm.”
The boy, who has now left hospital and is on the mend at home, gave a description of the snake to ambulance officers who contacted experts.
“We contacted Bristol Zoo to talk to their snake expert. What we described they indicated was probably a type of python, so not venomous,” an officer from Great Western Ambulance said.(AFP)
英國警方表示，一夥校園惡霸壓制住一名十四歲少年，強行以蛇攻擊咬傷他的手臂。
英國西南部布里斯托市警方表示，他們正在約談兩名參與這起攻擊事件的青少年，他們懷疑整起事件起因於種族歧視。
警方表示，這名受傷少年被這條沒有毒性的蛇咬傷後送醫治療，研判咬傷他的是一條長一米二的蟒蛇，牠用長牙在這名少年手臂上留下兩個穿刺傷。
艾坊與薩默塞特警方發言人表示：「這名青少年一直飽受種族歧視言論的霸凌，這次他被壓制在地，惡霸拿了一條蛇放到他面前，這條蛇咬傷了他的右手臂。」
「這名男孩因呼吸困難被送至法蘭查醫院，並在那裡治療手臂的傷口。」
這名男孩目前已出院回家休養，他對救護車上的醫護人員描述那條蛇的特徵，再由醫護人員向專家們求教。
大西部救護車服務隊的一位醫護人員說：「我們聯絡了布里斯托動物園的蛇類專家。依照我們的描述，他們判斷那應該是某種蟒蛇，並沒有毒性。」

Nestled in the mountain region of northern Taiwan lies a small village that was once bustling due to a thriving coal industry, only to later gain fame for an entirely different reason — cats.
