Toronto Police confirmed to Narcity that the incident occurred on Wednesday at 11:49 p.m. and it involved a real snake.
"A 45-year-old man has been charged with Assault with a Weapon and Wilfully Cause Unnecessary Pain/Suffering or Injury to Animal," a spokesperson said.
"A real snake? A rubber snake?" someone in the Twitter comments questioned, to which Taylor responded, "Yes real."
"At least they weren’t using guns," another shared, to which the poster said, "Glass half full type... I like you."
Others were worried about the snake and its well-being.
"The snake doesn't appear to be moving, is it OK? Poor thing," a person commented.
"Hahahaahahaha... oh my ...my whole family is laughing... the way snake quickly slithered away... :) That's either a new level of animal abuse or aggravated assault," another shared.
Some of you may be wondering if owning a snake is even legal in Ontario and the answer is yes but there are some conditions.
"In general, for reptiles and amphibians that are native to Ontario, you need approval before you can:
- Take (collect) them from the wild.
- Buy or sell them.
- Release them into the wild.
If you have approval to take or collect them, you can keep or breed the animals, without a licence," the government of Ontario states.
