Runners gored in crowded bull run

At least three people were gored and several others sustained scrapes and cuts today as crowds of enthusiasts in the medieval city of Pamplona ran alongside six fighting bulls in the third bull run of the annual San Fermin festival.

“So far we have news of three persons gored, one in the mouth and two others in leg muscles and buttocks but the figure might increase as more information comes in,” a spokesman for the festival said.
