Cobra captured in Misnk street

A real cobra was captured by rescuers in the very centre of the capital yesterday, reports the Belarusian State Broadcasting Company. Passers-by noticed the snake near a shop in Vera Haruzhai Street. The cobra was crawling along the stairs and people were making pictures of it with their cell phones. Rescuers from the Emergency Control Ministry spent some time trying to catch the snake. The cobra was hardly a meter long but in spite of that, it was very dangerous. Rescuers sent the animal to the zoo. It is not clear how the snake appeared on the shop doorstep.
