The shocking moment a deadly cobra escaped from its handler & tried to attack onlookers (Photos)

The horrifying moment a cobra almost injured tourists watching a snake show in Thailand was captured by a man named Dmitriy Bodnar. The snake show which was going on in Phuket was initially going on well with the charmer performing a number of tricks which included kissing the deadly cobra on its head.

Members of the audience were however shocked when a wrong move by the charmer made the cobra leap into the crowd, arching its neck at terrified crowd members. It was probably ready to release a devastating amount of venom on its victims but was thankfully pulled away just in time.

Reacting to the horrifying incident, Dmitriy Bodnar said, 

 'The show was very interesting. I sat quietly and watched until the snake almost bit spectators. I do not know whether it was part of the show or something went out of control, but the fact is I was frightened, not only I was frightened. everyone was.'
