The metal wiring of a bra saved a woman from serious injury when she was hit by a stray gun pellet during a boar hunt in Germany.
The 41-year-old was cycling through a field in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with a male companion when she suddenly felt pain.
"According to our inquiries so far, she was hit by an object in the breast area," a police spokesman said.
A wild boar hunt was taking place in the area at the time of the accident.
The woman suffered only bruising. A piece of ammunition was found on the bra's metal wire.
Police are questioning one of the hunters on suspicion of bodily injury caused by negligence.
The local newspaper, Schweriner Volkszeitung, reported on the incident on Friday, saying it took place on Sunday.
The hunt was stopped and the hunter's rifle was seized.
It's possible a piece of shot ricocheted during the hunt.
