A Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority spokesman says a Boston-area train was temporarily stopped Thursday after riders reported a man aboard had a snake around his neck.

MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo tells The Boston Globe police held the train for about nine minutes to investigate, briefly backing up service.
Of course, here’s the obligatory Samuel L. Jackson link.
