Stray bullet nearly hit groom at wedding celebration

A Saudi groom narrowly escaped death when a stray bullet fired by a relative nearly hit him in the head as he headed for his bride.

A short YouTube film showed the groom was walking past his relative who was shooting in the air to celebrate the marriage when the machine gun tilted in his hand.

The bullet whizzed near the groom’s head and pushed part of his head cover off, prompting him to jump back.

Newspapers in Saudi Arabia said no one was hurt in the incident but did not make clear where it happened.
