20 Hurt in Spain’s Bull-Running Fete
The second running of the bulls in the weeklong San Fermin festival ended Tuesday with more than 20 people knocked down by the bulls, including an American, police said.
A bull tossed Fred Shields, 34, of Hermosa Beach, Calif., who broke his collar bone when he landed on his shoulder. He was treated at a hospital and released. Several other people received treatment for cuts and bruises, police said.
The bull-running, part of the drinking and dancing festival in honor of San Fermin, Pamplona’s patron saint, began Sunday and is to continue through July 14.
