Man repels arrow with smartphone

brisbane - A 43-year-old Australian escaped a possible death by holding back an arrow that was shot at him with his smartphone. The arrow pierced the phone but only the point came...

The man had a fight with his 39-year-old neighbor in the hippie town of Nimbin on the Australian east coast. He suddenly grabbed a bow and arrow and aimed at the man. The victim then held his phone to his face to take a photo of the incident and probably saved his life.

The shooter was arrested but released on bail a short time later.
