NBC reports the snake was found under a sink in the apartment.

The Emergency Service Unit of the NYPD entered the basement apartment and "managed to corral the snake," police say.

The 5-foot brown and beige-colored snake was then taken to the nearest ASPCA.

Police said the snake was a python but Animal Control told  WPIX it's a boa constrictor.

No injuries were reported. It's unclear where the snake came from or if the snake is illegally being kept as a pet.
