Konstantine Myakush Shot Through Neck With Arrow Survives (Amazing Photos)

Konstantine Myakush survived getting shot in the neck with an arrow while out for a walk in Moscow with his son.

This was no simple walk in the park.

A Russian man out with his two daughters was shot in the neck with an arrow. But, miraculously, Konstantine Myakush is expected to make a full recovery, according to 9News.com.

Despite the grotesque injury, Myakush managed to call his wife just after getting hit. She called an ambulance for him, the Daily Mail.

Footage from the April 30 incident shows the 38-year-old man sitting remarkably still in a hospital with the 20-inch arrow protruding from his neck. It entered on his right side beneath his jaw and pokes out of throat on the left.

The weapon -- possibly misfired from an archer at a nearby sports complex -- fortunately did not strike any major arteries.

Surgeons successfully removed the arrow. The video also shows a bandaged Myakush recovering in the intensive care unit.

• Crystal Ball

  In April 2012, Clara Ann Blocker, of Oklahoma City, was sentenced to life in prison for beating a dwarf to death with a crystal ball. Blocker, 41, was drinking with Erik Scott Saxton on September 16, 2010, when the two got into an argument. Blocker grabbed a nearby crystal ball to bludgeon Saxton in the head before also beating him with a DVD player. Though Blocker initially claimed she never would have hurt the 4-foot 5-inch Saxton, "because he's a little person," she ultimately pleaded guilty to his murder.

• Dildo

  On April 25, 2012, Lisa Anderson violated the penal law. When police showed up at Anderson's apartment in Watertown, New York, on complaint of an "unwanted person" in the home, Anderson allegedly threw a pink dildo at the face of Officer Jonathan Pitts. The sex toy hit him in the forehead. Anderson was arraigned the same day on a charge of misdemeanor harassment and ultimately released.

• Deadly Booby Traps

  On April 16, 2012, a U.S. Forest Service Officer came across something that most people only encounter in cartoons: booby traps. The traps were located along a popular hiking trail in South Fork Canyon, Utah. They were elaborate set-ups, including concealed pits of spikes and a tripwire-activated swinging ball of spiked sticks surrounding a 20-pound rock. The officer found the traps before they claimed any victims, but hiker Emily Hammerstad noted that such traps "would kill people, easily." Benjamin Rutkowski, 19, and Kai Christensen, 21, ultimately admitted to setting the traps, and were charged with reckless endangerment. Had anyone been hurt, they would have been charged with felonies.

• Electric Guitar

  Peter Andrew Levay, 42, is charged with beating his neighbor to death with an electric guitar. On the morning of April 22, police in Austin, Texas were notified shortly after Levay allegedly told his roommate, Lavern Fisher, that he thought he killed the man who lived above them. Officials say they found the man, 64-year-old Maurice Leray Eckert, dead from "blunt trauma to the head." Eckert's wallet and blood-stained clothes were recovered from Levay's closet. Fisher said his roommate's motive was likely related to the victim's conduct not long before the incident took place. The three men had been drinking together, Fisher said, when Eckert "started making sexual advances toward me and [Levay], and they became violent."

• Spatula

  Investigators believe that Utah woman Angeles Cadillo-Castro used a spatula to murder her five-year-old stepdaughter. The young girl was found beaten to death in July 2010 in Cadillo-Castro's South Salt Lake apartment.

• Medieval-Style Mace

  Roberto Vazquez's weapon of choice wouldn't be that unusual . . . if he were living in the Middle Ages. Police say the 37-year-old New Jersey man attacked Matthew Pinto, an employee of Atlantic City Electric, with a "mace-like weapon" on February 8, 2012. Vazquez had previously had his electricity disconnected after he failed to pay his bills, but he had managed to reconnect his power by cutting a lock and manipulating the meter. Pinto had arrived to disconnect the power once again when Vazquez allegedly beat the employee over the head with a weapon made up of a 16-inch wooden handle and two spiked metal spheres. Pinto was knocked unconscious, and after waking up, bleeding from the head, in Vazquez's home, he drove to a police precinct to get help. Vazquez now faces a range of charges including attempted murder, aggravated assault, tampering with evidence, obstruction of justice and weapons charges.

• Pickle Jar

  In April 2010, 16-year-old Daniel Kovarbasich was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the killing of 55-year-old Duane Hurley. Kovarbasich told the court that Hurley had sexually abused him for years, asking for sex in return for favors and gifts. On January 22, 2010 the Ohio teen snapped. He grabbed a nearby pickle jar and hit Hurley over the head with it, before stabbing him multiple times with a knife. Kovarbasich was ultimately sentenced to 5 years of probation.
