FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - It's not every day that someone gets bitten in the head by a shark and lives to tell about it.

But that's what happened to 70-year old Rick Neuman, 200 stitches later.

Neumann said he was spearfishing in about 40-feet of water off the coast of Jupiter on Friday when a bull shark came out of nowhere.

"I think the shark got confused and just lashed out and hit me like a freight train," said Neumann. "It's not the shark's fault, he got confused, the water was dirty, and things can happen.

Neumann said he has no hard feelings against sharks and can't wait to get back in the water once he's healed.
