A survivor of the terrorist attacks on Paris on Friday says his cell phone saved his life.

The man was making a phone call outside the Stade de France during a soccer game on Friday when suicide bombers set off explosions there. He said shrapnel from the attack hit his abdomen and foot but his phone saved him from being hit in the head.

“So this is the cell phone that took the hit, it’s what saved me,” he said, according to a translation from the Guardian. “Otherwise my head would have been blown to bits.”

A crowd of nearly 80,000 spectators was later evacuated from the stadium, after the three suicide bombers behind the attack were killed in the explosions. The stadium was one of six sites targeted by terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday night, which killed at least 127 people. The Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the acts.
