Nelspruit - Despite a bullet lodged in his forehead, a 25-year-old Mpumalanga man claimed he did not know he had been shot, police said on Thursday.
Captain Benjamin Mtsholi Bhembe said the man claimed he was sitting outside his home last month when he was suddenly struck by an excruciating pain in the head.
He went to a local hospital where he was informed that a 7.65mm bullet was lodged in his skull.
The man, whose name was not immediately released, reported the incident to the local police and the bullet was removed on Wednesday.
Police were investigating whether the man might have been involved in some sort of crime, Bhembe said.
