A bull has gored two Britons and an American during the running of the bulls festival in Pamplona over the weekend. The three were among several people caught and attacked by the animal after he had had broken free from the pack.

The regional government said one of the Britons was gored in the left leg and the other in the right. They were charged by the bull as they sought protections by a fence near the city’s bullring. The 550-kilogramme bull is now known as Fugado (Escapee).

Last year 20 500 people joined the festival’s eight daily bull runs, with nearly half of them coming from abroad, mostly the United States, Australia and Britain.
