A 55-year-old farmer created a stir near Kattumannarkoil in Cuddalore district after he carried a snake that had bitten him to a fire station, alarming members of the public.
A snake measuring around six feet entered a private petrol bunk in the Periyakulam area of Kattumannarkoil. Customers who spotted it alerted the Fire and Rescue Services Department. Fire personnel arrived and searched for the snake but left after failing to locate it.
