PAMPLONA, Spain -- Bulls gored four runners, seriously injuring two of them, during a packed running of the bulls on the sixth day of the San Fermin festival on Sunday.
One man, a Pamplona resident, was caught in the chest and legs when a large bull became separated from the pack on the slippery cobblestone streets leading to the bullring.
The bull, a Miura weighing 1,268 pounds (575 kilograms), jerked the 44-year-old runner upward and then rolled him along the ground in the entrance to the ring. Miuras are the largest and most famous of Spain's fighting bulls.
