Many injured as bull jumps into crowd at Spain arena
A bull jumped into the stands at a bullring in northern Spain injuring up to 40 people, according to officials.
It happened in Tafalla, when the animal leapt over the fence and climbed up the stairs of the stands, knocking people over.
A 10-year-old boy suffered stomach wounds while another spectator was gored in the back. The other injuries were minor.
Officials later tied a rope around the bull to bring it under control. The animal was removed using a crane and later killed.
Spectators were watching a contest of “recortadores”, where participants attempt to dodge the bull as it runs frantically around the arena.
We’ve all heard of bull riding and bullfighting. But bull-leaping? That’s a whole new level of courage (craziness?). For Spaniard José Manuel Medina, however, bull-leaping, or “recorte,” is an adrenaline-filled way of life. In recorte competitions, bull-leapers invite charging bulls toward them in order to evade the animals via side-steps, flips and acrobatic turns. A panel of judges scores their moves. Unlike bullfighting, no harm is done to the animals.
Enter the ring … if you dare.
