Mobile phone deflects bullet

A nightclub worker was saved when his mobile phone deflected a bullet fired at him by a customer who had been thrown out.

Police in Atlanta, Georgia, said the parking attendant at a club called Halo was hit in the chest when shots were fired.

The shot hit the phone in his jacket pocket before it ricocheted off. He suffered only minor injuries.

Two people were arrested a short time later, and two handguns were found in their vehicle.
