A man in China was running errands when he discovered a 9-foot cobra hiding out in his van, when cornered, it decided to hide in the dash board

The snake was coiled under his driver’s seat when police arrived.

As one officer was about to catch it, it hid under the dashboard, and was pulled out from the glovebox.

Police cleared the area and devised a plan to catch the snake, which can spit poison a decent distance
