Serbian minister hit on head by giant ice chunk during interview

Serbia's energy minister escaped serious injury on Thursday when he was hit on the head by a heavy chunk of ice.



Aleksandar Antic was touring an eastern area hit by a recent cold snap when the block of ice fell from an overhead power line.

He was saved by his helmet, which was flung from his head and was revealed to have split open.
