A runner was gored in the face during a chaotic bull run at Spain’s San Fermin festival on Saturday, according to two reports on the event. Both accounts describe a fast-moving run through the narrow streets of Pamplona as the central incident of the day.[1][2]
One report said 12 other people were injured in the festival run. The other said many more runners were fortunate not to be seriously hurt.[1][2]
How the run unfolded
The SCMP account said six bulls and accompanying steers charged through crowds of thrill-seekers who packed the route in Pamplona. It said the animals knocked people onto the cobblestones and that stumbling runners caused several pile-ups during the roughly two-and-a-half-minute run from the pen to the bull ring.[2]
What the two reports agree on
The two sources agree on the key event: a runner was gored in the face during a chaotic San Fermin bull run on Saturday. They also place the incident in Pamplona during the festival’s bull-running course.[1][2]
What remains uncertain
The reports diverge on the wider toll. Sky News said 12 others were injured, while SCMP did not give a number and instead described the crowd as lucky to avoid more serious injuries. On the supplied documents alone, the full casualty count remains unresolved.[1][2]
