Panic gripped a packed suburban Mumbai local train when a slithering snake was found in a gent’s second-class compartment on Thursday morning, officials said. The green snake had entwined itself on the overhead handle-bars on which commuters usually hang on to in the suburban trains.
The snake was spotted in the 8.33 a.m. Titwala-Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus local train when it was reaching Thane station. Chaos broke out as the commuters attempted to get away from there in the already choked compartment. Many screamed, demanding that the railways and police be alerted.

The train was halted at Thane station and the scared commuters tumbled out of the compartment before some police and rail officials managed to catch the snake and take it away to safety.
The relieved commuters barged into the compartment again, many still casting anxious glances upwards to ensure there were no other reptiles around.
