Snake scares commuters at Sydney train station

CCTV footage captured the moment a snake was found by commuters at a train platform in Sydney.

People were seen running away as soon as they came across the snake.

One passerby approached the snake, grabbing it with bare hands and getting it out of the way while others kept their distance.

A spokesman for the Transport of New South Wales told Australian media the snake was a brown or black snake, both of which species are venomous.
