Shop worker saved by his mobile

A supermarket employee foiled a robbery in Japan after a
mobile phone in his shirt pocket stopped a bullet fired by a
raider.

Naoaki Miyazaki, 27, and two other Aoki Supermarket
employees were taking a bag filled with £60,000 to a
nearby safe when a 65-year-old man attacked them and
stole the cash, said police in Nagoya.

As Mr Miyazaki and the others gave chase, the man,
identified as South Korean Kim Jung-gam, pulled out a gun
and shot at them.

One bullet hit Mr Miyazaki's chest and pierced a memo pad
and calculator before lodging into the phone in his pocket.

Mr Miyazaki, who was unaware he had been shot, tackled
Kim and turned him over to police.

One of the other two shop workers, 38-year-old Takahiro
Sano, was taken to hospital with a serious gunshot wound.
