Phone-absorbed man bitten after accidentally stepping on snake

A disc jockey from Oklahoma received the surprise of his life as he was walking into work and it was all caught on camera. Tim Malone has been the DJ at Skateland in Chickasha for 20 years.



"Adrenaline took over,” Malone said. “And then I realised it was a snake and I started kicking. [I said] 'get it off.'" Last weekend, he said he was walking through the parking lot, smartphone in hand and not paying attention to where he was walking.



As he approached the building, surveillance footage showed him jump in sheer panic. At that point he realised he stepped on the snake. The 4 foot long bull snake sunk its teeth in and slithered away. "There's just those two little marks right there," Malone said of the bites on his leg. Malone said there's no hard feelings.

He even helped release the snake nearby and thinks it was just trying to escape the Oklahoma flood waters. "[It was] trying to get somewhere dry, maybe, I don't know,” he said. “It had been raining all day." Experts said bull snakes my bite, but they are not venomous.
