Spain: 5 Injured, One Gored in Pamplona Bull Run (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – One man was gored and four others were trampled in the traditional Spanish running of the bulls festival in Pamplona.
Rain before the race left the already narrow cobbled streets more slippery than usual, and many other runners could be seen being trampled while corralling the animals into Pamplona’s bullring, completing the 850-metre (930-yard) course in just over two minutes.
The runners completed the 850-meter (930-yard) course with bulls weighing 550-630 kilos each (1,100 to 1,400 pounds) in two minutes and 37 seconds.
The nine-day San Fermin fiesta where the bulls are run was made popular by American novelist Ernest Hemingway.
