LOS ANGELES, CA -- A man tossed a 13-foot python inside a sushi restaurant in Studio City Sunday night, terrifying diners, police said.
Los Angeles police Officer Drake Madison said 46-year-old Hiroshi Motohashi had argued with an employee and stormed out of Iroha Sushi of Tokyo in the 12900 block of Ventura Boulevard.
He returned with the snake, which he then threw into the restaurant before walking out around 6:30 p.m.
Responding officers arrested Motohashi on suspicion of making criminal threats. No one was injured. The python was taken by animal control officers.
