Gruesome moment US tourist, 25, is gored in Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls with two others mauled within hours
SHOCKING footage shows the moment an American tourist was gored by a bull at a festival in Spain.
Two others from Spain had also been gored at a fifth bull run at Pamplona’s San Fermin Festival in Spain on Monday, according to the Navarra regional government.
The American bull runner, 25, who was gored, is from Sunrise, Florida.
According to the Navarra regional government, he was gored in the calf.
Both Spaniards who were gored are 29 years old. One was gored in the knee and one was gored in the groin, according to the Navarra regional government.
Images have shown bull runners trying to get to safety while being attacked by a bull.
One runner was repeatedly tossed and butted against the wooden barriers at the ring’s edge by a bull. The bull is then shown goring the American’s leg.
The Associated Press reported that, a Red Cross worker, José Aldaba, explained to Spanish National Television that one man was gored on the street, while two others were pierced by a bull´s horn inside the bullring at the end of the run.
The event lasted a little over three minutes as hundreds of runners tried to outrun the bulls.
Three other people, who are all Spaniards, have minor injuries such as bruising.
None of those injured are in serious condition.
This was the first run that ended in gorings during the festival so far.
There are still three more daily runs before the festival ends on Thursday.
Scotch Snider, an American at the festival, told CBS, “Hell yes, I was afraid, man,” Snider said.
“There’s a lot of fear coursing through my blood but now I feel relieved and I’m going to get drunk,” he continued.
Another American, Don Story, who ran with the bulls told CBS, “We are just hoping to do a good job and not be one of those dumb foreigners that messes it up.”
