According to Spanish officials, four people have been injured including one who was gored on second day at the San Fermin or Running of the Bulls festival, in Spain.
Toms Belzunegui, a spokesman with the regional hospital in Pamplona, says three runners have head injuries or severe bruises. On July 6, animal activists stormed the event just as a bull was speared to death by a tamer. The festival every year, comes under the scanner by animal activists for mistreatment of bulls. According to a Red Cross spokesman, a runner was gored in the back. It wasn't immediately clear how serious the goring was.
Cebada Gago ranch, which is known for raising ferocious beasts had sent six bulls for the run on Sunday. They were surrounded by tame cattle for most of the 930-yard (850-meter) route to the bullring, leaving runners scrambling for limited space close to their horns.
The race lasted 2 minutes and 23 seconds. Eight bull runs are held in the northern city every July.
