Dan Kitwood/iStock/ThinkStock(NEWPORT, Ky.) — A large python attacked a man at a reptile shop in Newport, Kentucky on Monday.
The shop’s owner, Terry Wilkins, is in critical condition after a 20-foot, 125 pound python attacked and wrapped itself around him, reports ABC News affiliate WCPO-TV.
When police officers arrived at the scene, one of the officers was able to unwrap the snake from Wilkins and was able to get it back into a cage.
Wilkins was unconscious when the officers arrived, but was revived after being transported out of the store and to the hospital, says WCPO-TV.
