Man with headache finds bullet in his head

A 20 year old man was hit in the head by a bullet during New Year's Eve and only noticed it later on. Around 00:15 a.m. the man received a hit on the head and ended up on the ground on the Pretoriaplein in Haarlem, the Noordhollands Dagblad reports. He initially did not realize what happened. Later that night he had increasing pain in his head and found a bullet lodged in the top of his head. The man was taken to the hospital and the bullet was removed without permanent damage.
