Several people came face-to-face with an aggressive albino monocled cobra when they tried to leave their apartment.

According to the report from MyHighPlains, the cobra was standing its ground at the Houston apartment complex ever has residents made attempts to distract and capture the creature. One resident even tried to use a toy robot to corner the cobra.

Police finally arrived on the scene and they tried using a broom to get the snake into a pillow case. Another officer stood by with a taser. After a battle with the snake, they finally were able to capture it and hand it off to animal control.

The animal control officer said the cobra had tried to strike over 150 times. Since it was very aggressive, it had to be euthanized.

Authorities are still not sure where the snake came from.
