A terrified four-year-old boy was attacked by a 15ft snake that tried to drag him away in his backyard, according to Daily Mail Australia.
Clifford Thompson was rushed to hospital with nasty bite wounds after the savage attack last week.
‘I heard scream from behind me on the deck and I turned around to see this massive python latched onto my son’s leg’, the son’s father said.
His son, Clifford Thomspon, was holding onto a railing for his life as the snake tried to drag him off the deck.
‘If I wasn’t there this snake would have killed him.’
Mr Thompson said he rushed over and instinctively punched the snake in the head and it let go of his boy.
Within a split second it bit him again so I grabbed it by the throat and pried its jaws open – I managed to break its jaw.’
He said: ‘when the snake still tried to go after his son he grabbed it by the tail and yelled for someone to get weapon, my mate and my wife went to the toolshed and found a sledgehammer and my mate hit it’.
