Runner gored in face at Pamplona's San Fermin bull run
A runner was gored in the face during the San Fermin festival bull run in Pamplona, Spain, on Saturday. The six bulls and steers charged through crowds on the narrow street course, causing pile-ups. One runner suffered a horn wound to the face, and 12 others required medical treatment for minor injuries, according to the University of Navarra Hospital. A black bull broke away early in the 875-meter run and struck a participant in the face. The bulls are later killed by bullfighters in the ring.
