The 43-year-old had confronted a man armed with a bow outside his home, and raised his phone to take a photograph, when the man loosed his bow, which landed in the phone

An Australian man had a lucky escape while confronting a man armed with a bow outside his home, as a loosed arrow pierced the mobile telephone he was holding to take a photograph of the incident, Australian police said on Thursday.

The 43-year old man had returned on Wednesday to find the man, who was known to him, waiting outside his home in Nimbin, a small east coast town around 150 kilometres south of Brisbane. “The resident held up his mobile phone to take a photograph of the armed man who then engaged the bow and was ready to fire,” a police statement said.“It’s alleged the man fired the arrow at the resident which pierced through the man’s mobile phone causing the phone to hit him in the chin. It left a small laceration that didn’t require medical treatment.” A 39-year old man was arrested at the scene and charged, police said.
