Extreme bull runs injure 22 people (video)

In Spain, at the San Fermin festival, 22 people were injured while running bulls through the streets in just three days.

Local media reports that six people were injured on the first day of the races. On the second day, eight people were injured, but almost all of them received minor injuries. On the third day, when the race fell on a weekend and gathered a lot of people, 8 people were injured, while three were injured by the horns of bulls. Vanguardia reports:

“The third and most massive enciero run of 2022 took place on a weekend, and therefore had many more runners than the previous two. It was fast and ended with three injured bulls from being hit by horns.”

Every year from 6 to 14 July, celebrations are held in Spain in honor of the patron saint of Pamplona and Navarre, Saint Fermin. During the eventful nine days of holidays, residents and tourists take part in various events with pleasure. The most famous and popular are encieros, bull races through the streets.
