WATCH: Two gored in seventh bull run of Pamplona
Two people were gored during the seventh and penultimate running of the bulls at the San Fermin festival in Pamplona on Thursday.
The 875 metre morning run throught the cobbled streets of the Navarra capital lasted 2 minutes and 40 minutes and featured fighting bulls from the Nuñez del Cuvillo ranch.
Initial reports suggested that two runners received gorings; the first in his right leg as he was caught by a horn on the Santo Domingo stretch in the early part of the run and the second occurred at the top of Estafeta where a runner was gored in his groin region.
