Bull kills man, injures another

-

THIS is the shocking moment a man is killed by a rampaging bull at a festival in Spain as revellers flee in terror.

Horrifying footage shows the stampeding animal goring the middle-aged man in the chest and thigh – piercing one of his lungs – before dumping him on the ground.

According to The Sun, the incident happened at a festival yesterday celebratin­g the end of Easter in Arcos de la Frontera, near Jerez in southwest Spain.

The man was rushed to a nearby hospital but died despite efforts to save his life.

Another man gored in the stomach by the bull – a halftonne animal called Trapero – was treated at the scene and stabilised before being taken to hospital. His life is not said to be in danger.

Footage taken by onlookers showed the bull chasing after a man wearing a red jacket and cap before turning its attention to the man it fatally gored.

The victim is a local thought to be aged about 45 who has only been identified by his initials BLB.

The festival where the double goring took place is called the Fiesta del Toro del Aleluya. It has been held in Arcos de la Frontera since 1784.
