“Police in the neighbourhood were chasing suspects who were trying to break into a home. As they got to the bottom of the property, they bumped into a large black mamba. I only wish I was watching this happen,” said Evans.
“I ran out of the house, jumped in my car and made the three or four minute drive at speed. I ran towards him (Laatz) and, as I approached him, put my foot on some chopped bougainvillea branches. That briefly ended my chase,” said Evans.
“Eventually though, I had it secured. An extremely rushed and adrenaline pumping rescue, but fun nonetheless,” said Evans.
