Madrid, Nov 4 : The Daily Mail London on Friday posted a video of a hissing snake coming out of the Caja Madrid Bank ATM in Llodio, in Spain's northern Basque country.
The middle-aged man had stopped at the ATM outside the Caja Madrid bank and punched in his numbers.
As he waited for the cash to come out, he was greeted by a hissing snake that tried to bite him. The man managed to grab his money before the snake could strike him. He next called the police.The video below shows a police officer taunting the snake with his baton.
With the help of the bank manager, officers discovered that the snake was trapped by the bank-note ejection mechanism.
Eventually the manager was able to free the snake by activating the machine from the inside. It was then put into a box and taken to a shelter.
Police have not ruled out the possibility that someone may have put the reptile in the cash machine for a prank.However, as the ATM is in a rural area it is feasible the snake got there on its own accord.
