Bull runs amok, injuring seven tourists

Wednesday, 15 Jul, 2011 0

Seven tourists suffered injuries whilst watching bull running in the Spanish city of Pamplona this week.

The bulls knocked over and trampled watching revellers at the St Fermin festival which is held every year from July 7 to 14.

Thousands of locals and tourists gather in the town to watch as six bulls and six steers travel at speeds of up to 24kph.

But this year the biggest bull Resiston broke away from the group in the last stretch of the race and charged into onlookers as they ran alongside.

One man was charged in the head and then hooked by his armpits and thrown to the ground. The bull then jumped over the man who managed to escape to safety.

Others, including two Americans and a French citizen, were also charged and carted away to hospital with fractured bones and bruises.
