Laptop Saves Man from Bandit Bullet 0 15

A laptop that was in a backpack saved a Chinese citizen from a bandit bullet in Brazil. This was reported by the publication Mothership.

The incident occurred in São Paulo. The Chinese man, who asked to be called Zhang, was in Brazil for work. On the evening of October 1, he was waiting at a gas station for a car to take him to the airport. He had luggage with him and a backpack on his shoulders. Soon, a car stopped next to him, from which several armed robbers jumped out and demanded that he hand over all his valuables. "I had a computer and important documents in my backpack, so I turned around and ran away," Zhang said.

He ran about 40 meters, and when he turned around, he saw that the robbers had grabbed his luggage and fled. The gas station staff called the police, and Zhang went to the airport. During the inspection, it turned out that the Chinese man had miraculously escaped death. Customs officials discovered that a bullet was lodged in his laptop. Zhang admitted that he didn't even realize he had been shot at.

He reported that the damage from the robbery amounted to about three thousand Singapore dollars (190 thousand rubles). The man also noted that friends had warned him about the dangerous criminal situation in São Paulo and advised him never to carry anything valuable with him.
