Unmindful of her own safety, a woman rushed to save her child from a poisonous cobra.
The entire scenario was caught on CCTV and the footage has now gone viral all over the Internet.
In the clip, a little boy can be seen stepping outside the house all dressed up, while his mother was right behind him. The incident happened in the Mandya district of Karnataka.
The boy was unaware that a cobra slithered near him. While he stepped down the stairs, his foot almost landed on the cobra. The snake got defensive and moved back at first. The kid looked back to see what caught his eye, and to his surprise, he saw the snake raising its hood towards it.
However, luckily, his mother saw the snake before it could lunge and bite the kid. She grabbed the child and pulled him back to a safe distance.
Netizens hailed the mother for her daring devil act. “Everybody reacted the way they shud. Snake defensive, the child panicked and the mother composed. Finally, everything ended well,” said one user.
“God. I jumped out of my skin,” said another.
“Oh my goodness! Horrifying,” said the third.
