Pamplona: Five foreigners, including two Americans, were among six people gored in a hair-raising second running of the bulls Friday at Pamplona's San Fermin festival the Navarra regional government said.
A government statement said a Spaniard aged 58 and a 73-year-old South African man, identified only by the initials MHO, were in serious condition after being gored.
The regional government said one American, 55 and identified by the initials PGO. and another aged 23 years with the initials WRO, were gored but their injuries were reported to be less serious. An Indian aged 26, with the initials NSO, was also said to have sustained a less serious goring.
One runner could be seen pulling a bull away by the horn to prevent him goring a woman and a man who had fallen to the ground. Another beast repeatedly tossed a man in the air before being lured away by other runners.
The bulls used Friday weighed between 530 and 650 kilograms (1,170-1,430 pounds).
Runners dash along with six bulls down a narrow 930-yard (850-meter) course from a holding pen to Pamplona's bull ring. The bulls later face almost certain death in afternoon bullfights.
Ten people, including four Americans, were gored in the San Fermin festival last year.
