Shop worker saved by his mobile
A supermarket employee foiled a robbery in central Japan after a mobile phone in his shirt pocket stopped a bullet fired by the would-be thief, police said today.
Naoaki Miyazaki, 27, and two other Aoki Supermarket employees were taking a bag filled with 10.8 million yen (€92,000) to a nearby safe when a 65-year-old man jumped them and stole the money, Nagoya city police spokesman Yukihiro Tomita said.
