1st day of Pamplona bull run gets 4 injured

July 07, 2011 18:33

In Spain, tourists at Pamplona have become bullish.

Hundreds of runners fled half-tonne bulls charging through Pamplona's streets today in the first bull-run of Spain's San Fermin fiesta, resulting in four injuries. Six huge fighting bulls and six steers bolted through the narrow, winding streets of the northern Spanish town, clearing a path through a sea of runners mostly dressed in white, with red handkerchiefs.

Bulls and runners stampeded through an 848.6-metre course from a holding pen to the city's bull ring in 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
