‘Reckless’ tourist gets leg skewered in fiesta bull run

A FIGHTING bull skewered a “reckless” Australian thrill-seeker in the leg after he taunted the beast in Spain’s San Fermin fiesta, organisers said.

A half-tonne bull pierced the tourist’s right thigh with its horn and tossed him across the sand of the bull ring in the final stage of a daily bull-run in Pamplona, northern Spain.

Doctors in the bull-ring’s surgery treated the man for damage to a major artery and his condition had improved, said a spokeswoman for the festival organisers.
