A man has had his snake confiscated after revealing it to fellow passengers on a Central Coast train today, NSW Police say.
About 1am tomorrow, police from Brisbane Water Local Area Command were called to meet a northbound train at Woy Woy Railway Station, following reports there was a man with a live snake onboard the train.
Police were told a 20-year-old man produced the three-feet long jungle python from a backpack and began to show it to fellow passengers.
A number of passengers were concerned for the welfare of the snake and contacted police.
Officers spoke to the man at Woy Woy Railway Station who stated that he did not have a permit for the snake, named "Bread".
Police confiscated the snake and conveyed it to Woy Woy Police Station where it is expected to be examined by staff from a reptile park today.
Inquiries are continuing.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stopers.
