A bizarre carjacking in South Carolina on Friday -- that started with a snake being thrown at a woman -- ended in a chase and crash into another vehicle, according to police.

The Greenville Police Department said the incident happened around 8:25 p.m. in downtown Greenville when 29-year-old Hilmary Moreno-Berrios demanded a woman's keys before throwing a live, black snake at her.

"The bizarre incident garnered widespread community attention not only for the chase through the heavily-populated route the suspect traveled but also because Moreno-Berrios carjacked the Honda CR-V by throwing sticks and what turned out to be a live, non-venomous black snake at the victim," police said on Facebook.
