AN American who received serious leg injuries was among a group of six people injured at the Pamplona festival, the best known festival of its kind in Spain. A bull trapped the runners against railings at the event and the 39 year old was gored in the thigh, however his injuries are not life threatening.
The other five, four Spaniards and another American are being treated for cuts and bruises. Last weekend a man was killed in a similar event on the Costa Blanca and last week a matador was killed when fighting a bull during a live televised event.
