Spearfisherman confronted by huge shark and POKES it on the head

Brett Levington came face-to-face with one of nature’s most fearsome killers yesterday and lived to tell the tale.

Brett was underwater spearfishing off the coast of Cape Moreton, in Queensland, Australia with three friends, when suddenly out of the deep a Great White shark appeared.

Instead of trying to bolt for his life, the young Australian decided to poke the beast with the point of his spear in order to scare it off - and luckily for him, it worked!
