A Brazilian man living in Blenheim is in a comfortable condition
at Nelson Hospital this morning following surgery to remove a BB gun
pellet that was lodged in his face.
Police said a gun pellet was fired from a passing car in Grove Rd
in Blenheim yesterday, hitting the man near the corner of his left
eye and then lodging behind his nose.
Constable Michelle Stagg, of Blenheim police, said the man was in
the car yard near the railway station when a dark blue sedan drove
past, with someone in it shooting metal BB gun pellets late
yesterday afternoon.
He was taken to Nelson Hospital and had surgery to have the
pellet removed.
Miss Stagg said the man's eyesight did not appear to be damaged.
