A UK man has been left with just scars on his right arm after a lightning strike took place while he was playing video game in his living room.

This is the story of an incredibly lucky man who survived a lightning strike. The UK man has been left with just scars on his right arm after the accident. Surprisingly, the lightning strike took place when he was playing video game in his living room, according to a report in Oxford Mail.

Aidan Rowan was playing on his PlayStation on Monday, September 5, when he heard a loud crack and felt a heavy sensation in his body at 10:30pm, the outlet further said.

The 33-year-old who resides in Abingdon, England, was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital, where staff members said it looks like he has been hit by lightning.

Mr Rowan was allowed to go back home with a few medications after being kept in monitoring for eight hours. "I was on the sofa playing a game where you play as a stray cat and it was thundering outside," he told Oxford Mail.
