Two gored in the running of the bulls
PAMPLONA, Spain, (UPI) -- The second day the bulls ran in Pamplona, Spain, saw seven people injured, including two who were gored, officials said Thursday.
One man was gored in the thorax and listed in serious condition while the other man was gored in the left leg, an injury health officials said wasn't life-threatening, the Irish Times reported.
The bulls and steer -- used as a guide for the bulls -- run through the cobbled streets of Pamplona every day at 8 a.m. during the week-long San Fermin festival, the Irish newspaper said. The 902-yard course ends at the bullring for a bullfight later in the day in which the bulls are killed.
The run in Pamplona began 400 years ago but gained worldwide popularity after American author Ernest Hemingway wrote about it in his book "The Sun Also Rises."
