BERLIN (Reuters) - German firefighters pumping water out of a flooded apartment in Essen found a three-meter long python there, police in the western city said on Friday.
The fire brigade was called after a burst water pipe flooded the vacant apartment.
Police said it was unclear why the python, which was found on the bathroom window sill, was in the apartment. The tenant could not be contacted and police took the snake into custody.
