‘Hissing’ alligator pulled from storm sewer

A 7-foot alligator was removed from a storm sewer after it was heard hissing in the drain.

Cape Coral police shared video of the reptile capture Sunday.

"This is what nightmares are made of, walking down the road and you hear hissing coming from the sewer,” police said in a statement. “You go and look and, behold, an alligator.”

The alligator was put in the back of a truck and taken away to be released.
