A Norwegian hunter took aim at a moose but missed and accidentally hit a man sitting on the toilet in a nearby cabin, police said.

The bullet whizzed past the animal, pierced the wooden wall behind it and struck the man, in his 70s, in the stomach, the force told public broadcaster NRK.

The victim was flown by helicopter to hospital but his injury was not life-threatening, said Anders Strömsaether, in charge of the investigation.

The hunter was taken in for questioning in Hvaler district, 75 miles south-east of the capital, Oslo, said police.

The moose escaped unscathed.
