A 64-year-old woman named Arom was rescued by police in Thailand after being constricted by a 13-to-16 foot python for two hours.

The incident took place near Bangkok while she was doing the dishes.

The python coiled around her torso, but Arom’s cries for help eventually reached a neighbor who alerted the police.

Police Major Sergeant Anusorn Wongmalee from the Phra Samut Chedi Police Station led the rescue operation.

Using a crowbar, officers managed to free Arom, although the snake escaped.

Arom received medical treatment for several bites.

Pythons are non-venomous constrictors prevalent in Thailand, a country home to 250 snake species.
