if you mess with the bull...


A bull injured forty people on Wednesday in Spain when it jumped into the stands to attack the crowd at a bullring in the northern town of Tafella.
Raw video of the event posted online on Thursday showed the bull leaping over barriers and landing in the packed stands of the arena.
The bull was killed after it was subdued with the help of a former bullfighter in the crowd. Most of the injuries were cuts and bruises, but one man was gored in the back, another suffered crushed vertebrae and a 10-year-old boy remained in intensive care on Thursday at a hospital in the regional capital of Pamplona, the Spanish newspaper El PaĆ­s reported. The boy was injured when the 1,000-pound bull fell on him as it rampaged through the stands.
The Associated Press explained that the bull’s escape occurred Wednesday at the Tafalla arena in the northern region of Navarra, “during an event attended by about 3,500 spectators, in which mostly young people try to get a bull to charge at them so they can dodge it.” (via)
