One person is dead and at least 20 more were injured during a running of the bulls in Mexico, according to new videos and reports.
The running of the bulls that takes place on the Sunday following the Feast of the Assumption in Huamantla, Tlaxcala, Mexico, is considered to be far more dangerous than the famous running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, during the San Fermin Festival.
This is because the bulls are released from cages in nine different locations, making it almost impossible for those who are trying to outrun the bulls to anticipate the direction from which they are coming or the path that they are likely to follow through the maze of streets that lead to the arena.
In Pamplona, the bulls are all released in one location, and they follow a well-known route to the bullring.
Translated from Spanish via Google Translate:
“La Huamantlada registered a balance of 20 injured and one dead , who were attacked by the released bulls in the streets of the municipality of Tlaxcala.
A video has circulated on social networks in which it is observed how a subject literally flew away after being hit by the bull.
The man fell unconscious and the bull continued to charge .
While this was happening, other people tried to get the animal’s attention to care for the injured person.
With ties, they held the bull by the head and the emergency services helped the man who ended up in serious condition.”
