A female detective rescued a 9 foot-long Yellow Anaconda from the roadside with her bare hands after they received a call from someone who spotted the reptile.

Detective Emily Shaw from the Leon County Sheriff's Office in Florida rescued the snake even though it tried to wrap itself around her.

The footage shows Shaw picking up the snake by its tail and the furious reptile comes at the officer as she swiftly moves out of the way of its fangs.

The roller coaster footage shows the snake trying to bite Shaw's foot but after some struggle she manages to put it in a duffle bag.

But after a long tussle, she eventually manages to get the snake in to a zip bag.

The video was posted on Leon County's Facebook page.
