The Spanish Bull run is a well known tradition, and it’s also one that can be extremely dangerous.
Unfortunately for this 32-year-old man, he was killed on Saturday after attending the event in Villaseca de la Sagra in Toledo.
The man decided to record a bull on his phone, and ended up getting killed after being gored in the neck from behind by a bull in the process.
According to Dailymail,
Local media reports he was then gored in the neck once inside the arena to the horror of onlookers.
He was taken to a nearby hospital but pronounced dead on Sunday, prompting the town’s mayor to urge revelers to take care when attending such events.
‘The young man was filming with his mobile phone, a bull surprised him from behind and gored him in the neck’ said Jesus Hijosa.
‘This sends shivers down our spine… we organise these events as a tradition, so that people can enjoy them, but these things happen.
‘Bulls are dangerous animals and when there are a lot of people some don’t pay attention… you have to have your wits about you,’ he added.
The poor guy couldn’t have even tried to run.
There have been reports for as many as 11 in the start of this festival, along with over 15 deaths over the running in Pamplona, the home of the country’s most famous festival, since 1911.
Best of luck to all the other runners and bystanders that there are no more injuries.
