TEMPE - A man was recovering Tuesday after being shot with an arrow as he was riding his bicycle this weekend.
The man, 38, was riding his bike at 10:11 p.m. Saturday eastbound in the 1000 block of West Broadway Road when he was hit with a "bolt" arrow in the forearm, police said. It was likely fired from a small crossbow, they said.
A random hit to someone by an arrow is uncommon but can be fatal, said Sgt. Dan Masters, a police spokesman.
Police said they weren't sure if the suspect or suspects were in a moving car or across the street when the shot was fired.
The victim was taken to Maricopa Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
