A 55-year-old man passed away after they were gored by a bull at a festival in Spain.
This is the first death of this type in Spain since the coronavirus pandemic started in 2020.
The animal was filmed on Saturday lifting the reveller in the air on the end of its horns and dumping the elderly man on the ground.
Party goers in Onda, which is located in the eastern province of Castellon, tried to entice the bull away to stop attacking the injured man.
According to reports, the man was left unconscious on the ground after it was gored to death by the bull.
The man was rushed to the hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
He reportedly had gone through “haemorrhaging blood from a gore wound in his left thigh near to his groin which had perforated his femoral artery.”
The officials at the Onda town hall announced that they were suspending the rest of the night’s events after the doctors made the death official.
The gored man came from La Vall d’Uixo, they are yet to be named.
The unnamed man was treated at the scene by a doctor before they were taken by an ambulance to the Hospital de la Plana in nearby Villarreal.
The incident during the Fira de Onda, the name of the festival, left locals in complete shock.
The Onda Town Hall confirmed the incident in a statement, where they said:
Due to the death of a man this afternoon and as a sign of respect and show of condolence, the rest of the programmed night-time events have been suspended. The Fira de Onda takes place during the last week of October when Onda celebrates its patron saint festival. A religious procession and the bull events are the biggest draws. Before the coronavirus pandemic several revellers were gored to death every year at Spanish festivals involving bulls being let onto the street including the Pamplona-style ‘encierros’.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the man, may his soul rest in peace.
