Snake used as a weapon in racist attack on teenager in England...

A gang brandishing a snake as a 'weapon' attacked a 14-year-old boy with a 4ft (1.2m) python, forcing the reptile to bite the teenager's arm.

Police suspect the attack, in Bradley Stoke, South Gloucestershire, may have had a racist element to it and officers are appealing for witnesses. 

The boy was pinned to the floor on Saturday afternoon, as one gang member forced the green python to attack. More...
