A Guy Saved Himself From Getting Hit By An Arrow By Blocking It With His Phone.......Wait What?
(CNN) An Australian is lucky to be alive after allegedly stopping an arrow with his mobile phone in a confrontation with a man in the small town of Nimbin, in the state of New South Wales, on Wednesday. The 43-year-old first noticed the alleged attacker — armed with a bow and arrow — in the driveway of his home as he left his car. As the resident got out of his car he raised his phone to take a picture of the armed man, 39.
A police statement said the visitor, who was known to the victim, engaged his bow and allegedly fired the arrow. It hit the resident’s mobile phone, which struck his chin and caused a small scratch. Otherwise he was fine. The police statement did not identify the model of the phone. Police were called to the scene and arrested the alleged attacker. He was taken to Nimbin Police Station and charged with armed with intent to commit an indictable offense, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and malicious damage.
Excuse me what? A guy did what with his what and blocked a what? What the hell are we even talking about? This feels like a story that shouldn’t happen in 2019.

WHO IS THIS MARKSMAN?????? He’s like Robin Hood, Legolas and Hawkeye all rolled into one. The one dude tried to take a picture of a man with a bow and arrow so the man with the bow and arrow fired a dart directly through his phone. I don’t know for a fact but I know for a fact that the guy hit the phone on purpose. He could’ve shot the dude in the leg if he wanted but instead he was like, “Don’t take a picture of me” WOOSH. Arrow through the phone. He gave him a little kiss with the arrow. It honestly looks like the arrow went directly through the camera. Incredible.
The story makes more sense when you see that it happened in Australia. Australia is the one and only place this could happen. Well Australia and the place where that isolated tribe killed that missionary by firing a bunch of arrows into his heart. I think it was a remote part of South America. Isolated tribe members and Australians are the two groups of people who will not hesitate to launch an arrow in your direction if you’re acting like an idiot.
Anyway. The lesson here is don’t try to take a picture of a man who’s holding a bow and arrow on the continent of Australia because he’ll put a warning arrow through your phone and then maybe your face.
