It’s the gruesome moment an enraged bull gores a Spanish teenager as he tries to run away from the animal during a bullfight, tossing him in the air like a rag doll.
Horrifying footage from the event in Castalla, Alicante province, shows the 19-year-old being thrown as the animal uses its horns to toss him helplessly through the air.
Fleeing with other young men through the narrow streets of Castalla, the boy first slips down the road.
As he tries to get up, the bull catches up to him and instantly uses his horns to slam him into a wall.
The bull repeatedly smashes the teenager – who has not been named in local media – against the terraced street walls before picking him up again with its horns and bouncing him multiple times into the tunes.

Screaming onlookers attempt to distract the enraged bull, but the animal continues to charge at him as the teenager lies helpless on the ground.
The locals seek to help the man, but they quickly back down when the bull glares at them.
Again the man is knocked off the ground by the bull as he is thrown from one side of the street to the other.
The runner only escapes when he is thrown towards a door and manages to stagger behind a security grid.
The terrifying footage was recorded during the five-day Fiestas de Vaca – or cow festivities – in honor of San Roque (Saint Roch) starting August 12. Local media first reported the incident on August 16.
Reports say the teenager was in stable condition when he was rushed to hospital, where he is being treated for four gashes to his horn and multiple bruises.

Local official Jose Rico commented: “It’s as if a train had run him over, but the injuries are minor and the boy is in better condition than expected.”
The Spanish animal protection party PACMA took to X (formerly Twitter) to condemn the event.
He wrote: “Bous al carrer” (bulls in the street) events not only cause stress to bulls, but also pose danger to people.
“This 19-year-old man was hospitalized with four horn cuts in Castalla (Alicante) after being charged by a bull.
“If these festivities cease to exist, we will spare ourselves these tragedies.”
