Man Who Attacked Victim With Python Charged With Assault

Before getting into a fight, the man was reportedly walking down the street holding the snake before he approached the victim in question. The two eventually got into a spat which led to the eventual attack.

Police say the snake was alive during the fight, but died afterwards at an unspecified time. They also told CityNews that the alleged attacker and the victim hadn’t known each other prior to the incident and the victim was not injured.

Avila last appeared in court the day after he was arrested, but there haven’t been any updates since.
