Cameron Robertson, 41, miraculously survived despite being hit by two hollow point bullets - commonly known as "dum dum" - which were fired by masked gunmen on the streets of Brooklyn. It is believed the holidaymaker may have been caught up in an attempted hit on local police officers, as he returned from a rock concert with his wife Jill Robertson, 42. The stunned father-of-two had jetted off to The Big Apple for the four-day trip to see two bands 'Nothing But Thieves' and 'Kid Kapichi'. But as he and Jill were walking back to their hotel on September 17 following a gig, Cameron was hit by two 9mm rounds during a hail of gunfire. The financial services manager said he and Jill had dived for cover, but he realised he had been struck after feeling a "sharp, hot needle" sensation in his arm soon after. Cameron was initially strapped up by cops before being rushed to a hospital in an ambulance, where doctors found another bullet lodged in his thigh. Thankfully, the ammunition did not hit any bones or arteries, and he was able to fly back to Britain the next day where surgeons removed the bullet from his leg. Cameron said: "We heard a pop, my wife heard screams and we jumped into a deli just next to us. That's when I realised I'd been shot, initially in my arm. "It felt like a sharp, hot needle had gone into my arm. It's all a bit of a blur, but I remember realising and telling my wife I thought I'd been shot before going to the ground and lying down. I feel very lucky to be alive. Neither of the bullets hit any bones or arteries causing any major or life-threatening injuries." A spokesperson for NYPD said they were still hunting two men involved in the shooting. Cameron revealed the 9mm ho){kind=link}
