During this morning´s run of the bulls through somewhat narrow streets in the old Pamplona part of the town, due to so many people running alongside or in front of the bulls,  towards the bullring, everthing changed compared to the previous days.
One of the bulls suddenly turned around and headed towards the runners, which resulted in several people seriously injured as they were gored and got hospitalized straight away. Three of them needed surgery.

Other runners were trampled or got gored by the bulls on this bull run, which lastet six minutes, as a normal run is between two and three minutes.

The bull run through the streets is being part of the yearly San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Northern Spain, and which has a tradition for over 400 years.

One of the problems is that quite a few drunk “amateurs” take part of the run after having spend all night in bars or in the streets. The last person to get killed during these bull runs, was back in 1995.
