Don't you ever feel like taking him by the neck and wringing it?

It reached for the fleeing man and took hold of him by the neck.

It had just taken him by the neck, like the rabbit.

The hand took her by the neck again, and squeezed.

The hand, which had returned to his side, suddenly darted up and took her by the neck.
