Forty people were injured when a bull leapt over barriers at a Spanish bullring and ran amok among spectators.
Three people were in the emergency ward after being trampled when the bull escaped the ring in Tafalla, northern Spain yesterday.
Video footage showed the bull landing in the stands among hundreds of spectators after jumping high enough to clear both the 1.5 barriers around the ring and a narrow alley where the bullfighters and officials stand.
Some spectators tried to keep the bull still by holding it by its tail, while others hurled capes and missiles, causing it to charge. The bull that was eventually captured and no doubt slaughtered.
This happened during an event in which people try to provoke the bull to charge them.
The bull had already jumped twice into the alley surrounding the ring.
A 47-year-old man who it is said was gored in the back and was among half a dozen spectators taken by ambulance to the hospital at Pamplona, home to the San FermÃn bull runs.
The accident comes amid an intense debate in Spain about bullfighting, which was banned by the north-eastern region of Catalonia last month.
These people quite happily go to watch the poor creature being tormented, and then start screaming when this bull turns on them.
These people call themselves civilised, yet quite happily participate in this barbaric (what they call) sport.
I’m ashamed that even people from here in the UK go to watch this.
These people deserve everything they got.
