A 48-year-old man made an unusual appearance in an Italian pizzeria. He appeared in the restaurant with a python around his neck and two large dogs on a lead - when he was refused service, he returned with a pistol.

The incident took place in the province of Como. The waitress and the owner of the restaurant did not want to comply with his request and refused to serve him a drink. Instead, they asked him to leave the restaurant. The man then threatened to return armed. He did so a few minutes later when he re-entered the pizzeria and threatened the waitress with a pistol.

Snake rightfully belongs to the Italian
One of the customers managed to chase the 48-year-old away, as local media reported on Saturday. The police identified the man and found a toy gun in his apartment. The man, who has several previous convictions, was released. The python legally belongs to the man.
