This Man's Life Was Saved By WHAT?!steemCreated with Sketch.

in #life6 years ago


A man from Australia got involved in an argument with a stranger trespassing on his property. Just as things started to get heated between the two, the trespasser suddenly brandished a crossbow and aimed it straight at the man's head.

With only a split-second to react, the homeowner used the only thing in his hand to shield him from the arrow; his smartphone.

The trespasser fled on foot after taking the shot and was later arrested by the authorities.

The picture above was taken at a local police station as part of their investigation into the whole ordeal.

Have Your Say

Our smartphones have become such an important part of our lives that we can't imagine our lives without it. Not only that, but smartphones have become extraordinarily expensive over the last few years.

Would you rather use your phone to deflect an arrow or take your chances by either dodging/being hit in a non-lethal part of your body?
