A Kenyan man bit a python which wrapped him in its coils and dragged him 
up a tree during a fierce three-hour struggle, police have told the BBC.
...
The victim told police he managed to reach his mobile phone from his 
pocket to raise the alarm when the python momentarily eased its grip after 
hauling him up a tree on Saturday evening.

Mr Nyaumbe used his shirt to smother the snake's head and prevent it from 
swallowing him.
...
"I stepped on a spongy thing on the ground and suddenly my leg was 
entangled with the body of a huge python," he said.
...
He added: "It's very mysterious, this ability to lift the man onto the 
tree. I've never heard of this before."
