Screaming spectators trying to avoid a Bull in Spain

A bull leapt out of the arena at a bullring in northern Spain Wednesday and charged into a crowd of terrified spectators, injuring some 30 people, Spanish media said. Spanish public television showed dramatic images of screaming spectators, including children, frantically trying to avoid the animal after it hurdled a security barrier that surrounds the arena as well as a fence and clambered into the crowded stands. The incident occurred Wednesday evening in the bullring in the town of Tafalla, in the Navarra region. Some 30 people were injured, the local Diario de Navarra newspaper said. Most suffered cuts and bruises or shock, but one man was gored in the back and a 10-year-old boy was being examined at a hospital in the nearby town of Pamplona after suffering multiple bruises. Several employees of the bullring finally managed to get control of the bull after about 15 minutes, and it was killed and removed by a crane.
