A man miraculously survived after he was shot in the back of the head and the bullet exited through his mouth.

A CCTV camera caught the drama as it unfolded on a street in Marialva, southern Brazil, on Friday night (2nd December).

Footage shows how the gunman creeps up behind the 24-year-old victim and shoots him at point-blank range in the back of the head.

The injured man then runs to a snack bar to seek help.

Paramedic Joel Darte told local media it was a miracle that the young man had been left with no lasting effects.

He said: “At the hospital he had a CT scan and it showed that he had a fracture in the first cervical vertebra.
