This is the moment a snake slithers into a police station - leaping up at a visitor sitting in the waiting room. <br /><br />The man was reporting an incident at the station in northern Thailand, on Saturday afternoon (December 8) when the serpent scaled an uphill disabled ramp - then slid in through the open front door.<br /><br />The dark black rat snake glided over to the man - who glanced down when it was just a few inches from him. The pair both panicked, and the snake reared up and jumped at the legs of the victim.<br /><br />CCTV cameras from the station captured the incredible scene as the man, Apichat Cheautong, 45, began frantically stomping at the 6ft-long aggressive reptile, which even wrapped itself around its victim's ankles.<br /><br />Apichat eventually managed to grasp the snake by its head and its tail as an officer walked out to the front desk after hearing the commotion.<br /><br />Hilariously, Apichat even offered the policeman the snake - who flinched with fright and quickly waved him away towards the front door, where the snake was released into bushes on the other side of the car park.<br /><br />Police Private Pung Puapan Suan, the officer in the video, said today that he was shocked when Apichat approached him with the reptile.<br /><br />He said: ''The man was trying to give it to me. I said, 'No, no, don't come here, take it outside.' <br /><br />''He thought that I could help him with it. I've never picked up a snake before. I'm scared of them. I followed him outside and he put the snake in some bushes in the car park.''
