A motorcyclist arrives at his trusty steed only to find it has been commandeered by a five-foot hissing cobra, poised to strike.

A crowd of onlookers gathers, with one calling a local snake expert. The filmer gets unnervingly close to the creature.

The expert, Chand Pasha, took nearly an hour to extricate the cobra, which was later released into its natural habitat.

An eyewitness, Nagesh Prasad, said, "the snake had possibly crawled into the bike through a small opening in the rear side. It was stuck and unable to get out.”

Snakes tend to take refuge in vehicles left outside in the rainy season, according to Pasha.

The terrifying footage was captured in Yadgir, central India.
