A police officer in Kansas is being honoured for his bravery after pulling the jaws of an 8-foot python off its owner.

According to the Hutchinson News, the serpent attacked and latched onto its owner''s neck when she took it from its cage to feed it on Tuesday in Lyons, Kansas, 65 miles (105 kilometres) north of Wichita, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Part-time police officer Max Bryant grabbed the snake by its nose and jaw and forced open its mouth. The snake, which has small teeth instead of fangs, had not yet had time to wrap itself around the 20-year-old woman, who escaped.
