Smartphone footage, which quickly went viral, showed the bespectacled man casually snatch the snake’s tail and then smash its head on the floor in a violent whipping motion. The creature was apparently killed instantly as shocked spectators — including a baton-wielding transit security officer — kept their distance.

The unidentified man wearing a backpack then tossed its limp body, which appeared to be about one metre long, out the door to waiting security staff.

It is not clear what kind of serpent it was, nor whether it was venomous. No injuries to passengers were reported.
