Cell Phone Stops Bullet and Saves Man's Life

File under tabloid again. A man from Crystal River, Florida, is out of the hospital after his cell phone reportedly stopped a bullet from killing him, reports WFTV.

"Deputies said Stephens was at his winter home when someone inside the home shot at him twice. The first bullet hit Stephens' shirt pocket, where his cell phone slowed the bullet enough to keep it from killing him."

This brings to mind a a similar story which occured six months ago, whereby a Korean LG cell phone saved the life of a jeweller in Sussex who was being robbed. The phone in his pocket delfected the bullet.

True stories or the birth of a new urban legend?
